“…When infected, they increase the incidence of clinical complications and impair tissue and functional recovery, leading to death due to septicemia. Thus, it is important to immediately determine the microorganism present in the pressure ulcer and the initiation of specific treatment to resolve the infection and assist in the healing of this disease [21,22].…”

“…The notion of disinfecting burns and wounds using a noninvasive and localized strategy such as PDT with limited damage to the host tissue is well documented in the literature [ 10 , 51 , 52 ]. Lambrechts et al achieved 3.6 or 4.8 log 10 units reduction in the viability of Staph.…”

“…LLLT irradiation in the visible and near infrared wavelengths (400 and 1,072 nm) results in a significant reduction in the colony count of several but not all types of bacteria 36,37 while illumination with light of 650 nm in association with photosensitive toluidine blue exerts an antibacterial effect on infected skin ulcers. 38 These data indicate the importance of determining the type of bacterial within a wound prior to selecting the irradiation wavelength to apply, 39 or combining LLLT with the application of the appropriate antibacterial agents.…”
