Abstract:IntroductionPseudomonas aeruginosa is a leading cause of canine otitis externa. Enrofloxacin is often applied topically to treat this condition, although recalcitrant and recurring infections are common. There is evidence that exposure to blue light (400–470 nm) has a bactericidal effect on P. aeruginosa and other microorganisms.MethodsIn the present study, we tested the biocidal effect of blue light (375–450 nm), alone or in combination with enrofloxacin, against six isolates of P. aeruginosa from dogs with o… Show more
