Efeitos da terapia fotodinâmica e de uma única aplicação de laser de baixa potência em bactérias in vitro

Abstract: O laser de baixa potência vem sendo usado para acelerar a cicatrização em úlceras de pressão devido a seus efeitos cicatrizante, antiinflamatório, antiedematoso e analgésico. No entanto, não há consenso quanto a seu efeito em úlceras infectadas. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar o efeito bactericida da laserterapia e da terapia fotodinâmica (TFD) com laser de baixa potência, InGaP, 670 nm, em doses de 2, 4 e 6 J/cm², em bactérias gram-positivas e gram-negativas in vitro. Foram preparadas 32 placas … Show more

“…This indicates that the laser radiation at the dose used, with the wavelengths of 808 and 660 nm, caused no biostimulating effect on bacteria and fungi. Some studies in the literature corroborates with the results of our study, even if they have used different wavelengths and doses, as in the study of Benvindo et al (11) , who investigate the bactericidal effect of laser therapy of low intensity and photodynamic therapy (PDT) with low-power laser, InGaP, 670 nm, at doses of 2, 4 and 6 J/cm2, in gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria in vitro. The authors concluded that low level laser therapy and photodynamic therapy (InGaP, 670 nm) did not porduce bactericidal or bacteriostatic effects, not even a biostimulant effect over the bacteria was observed.…”

“…(11,18,19) The choice of the in vitro method was based on previous studies in the literature that performed several experiments assessing the effects of laser on different types of bacteria using changes in wavelength, dosage and frequency. (6,15,20,21) The growing method and evaluation of repeated cultures were described by Benvindo et al (11) and was choosed because its a good method for the development of bacteria and fungus in question, quick and easy to perform, and it is a wide domain of technical staff of the Microbiology Laboratory at the Goias Federal University (UFG) where the research was conducted.…”

“…A resistência das bactérias aos antibióticos, devido ao seu uso inapropriado, é um dos maiores problemas da atualidade e representa um desafio para o desenvolvimento de novas modalidades terapêuticas para o tratamento de pacientes infectados (Almeida et al,2006;Benvindo et al,2008;Dunbar et al,2008).…”
