405 nm

In this work, we studied the development of tolerance to low-intensity violet (405 nm, 80 mW/cm2 , 72 J/cm2 ) LED radiation in a clinical antibiotic-resistant strain of Staphylococcus aureus 2a. The change in numbers during 20 cycles of irradiation was studied, the reaction of bacterial cells to oxidative stress was studied – sensitivity to the presence of hydrogen peroxide in the environment and catalase activity.

The progressive growth of bacterial resistance to antibiotic drugs requires the creation of highly efficient nanomaterials. Aluminum oxide is a stable non-toxic semiconductor material; however, the photocatalytic properties of its modifications in relation to microorganisms are not well understood. In this study, we used new 3D composites of aluminum oxyhydroxide (Al2O3 ? nH2O) in three modifications (?, ? and ?), which are a mesh of 150 nm nanofibrils.
