Goal: To study the sensitivity of staphylococci to the combined effects of light, dyes and nanoparticles
Genera Staphylococcus: Staphylococcus aureus Staphylococcus epidermidis • Gram-positive cocci arranged in clusters • Occurs frequently on the skin and mucous membranes of humans and animals • Cause of acne, boils, endocarditis, osteomyelitis, toxic shock syndrome, nosocomial infections, wound infections, etc. • Often resistant to a wide variety of antibiotics, including methicillin • Contains carotenoids, staphyloxanthin, 4,4'-diaponeurosporene
Bacteria strains • S. aureus 209 P • S. epidermidis • two strains – meticillin-susceptible (MSSE) and meticillin-resistance (MRSE) • Staphylococci were grown on nutrient agar and incubated at 37°C
Experimental combinations Blue and Red LEDs + Methylene Blue + Titanium Dioxide Blue and Red LEDs+ Brilliant Green + Titanium Dioxide Infrared laser + Indocyanine Green + Titanium Dioxide For the treatment of infections on the surface of skin and mucous For the treatment of infections in the tissues

Summary • The most effective combination for inhibition the growth of the three investigated staphilococci is the LED light (405, 625 nm), Brilliant Green and TiO2 nanoparticles. • This bacteria killing technology has several advantages: • a low power radiation and low concentration of dyes can be used; • the effectiveness is achieved through various mechanisms (photodynamic, photocatalytic, photothermal) that prevents the formation of bacterial resistance
