Methylene Blue-Photodynamic Therapy Effectively Kills Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria from Pediatric Patients with Perforated Appendicitis

2025-04-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objectives</h4> Perforated appendicitis (PA) is the most common cause of intra-abdominal abscess in children and is associated with higher costs, extended hospitalizations, and worse postoperative outcomes compared to uncomplicated appendicitis. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) utilizes a photosensitizer and light to generate cytotoxic reactive species that are efficacious against bacteria. We sought to determine w...
