Antimicrobial Blue Light Reduces Human-Wound Pathogens’ Resistance to Tetracycline-Class Antibiotics in Biofilms

Biofilms contribute to chronic infections and the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). We are developing an antimicrobial blue light (aBL) device to reduce bacterial bioburden in wounds and decrease reliance on systemic antibiotics. aBL induces the generation of reactive oxygen species (RO...
