Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance is significant concern to public health that negatively impacts the worldwide populace. With the increasing incidences of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens, treatment of infections is becoming more difficult than ever before. In recent years, our team has been involved with the use of blue light (BL) for the treatment of infection. BL is a potent microbicide that can kill a multiplicity of pathogenic microbes. A concern, however, is that the effects of BL are short lived, when the light switches off, so do the antimicrobial effects.Therefore, we considered, that we could increase the longevity of microbicidal activity of BL via its concomitant application with antibiotics. In this study, we tested our hypothesis that aBL can enhance antibiotic activity in MDR bacteria.
