Using TIО2 Nanoparticles for the Photodynamic Action of Led Blue (405 nm) Radiation on Microorganisms

The regularities of radiation-induced changes in the population quan­ tity of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans in the presence of blue LED light and nanoparticles were studied. The effect of the blue radiation on the bacteria S. aureus was not dose­ dependent.

Some aspects of antimicrobial photodynamic eff ects

Antimicrobial phototherapy is an alternative method for combating clinically signifi cant microorganisms associated with lesions of the skin, mucous membranes of the oral cavity, respiratory, gastrointestinal and urogenital tracts. The method uses non-toxic dyes called photosensitizers, molecules that can be excited by harmless visible light to form reactive oxygen species.

The method uses non-toxic dyes called photosensitizers, molecules that can be excited by harmless visible light to form reactive oxygen species. Numerous studies of the method in vitro and in vivo have demonstrated the destruction of microorganisms or a signifi cant reduction in their number.
