Antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation of Staphylococcus aureus biofilms in bone specimens using methylene blue, toluidine blue ortho and malachite green: An in vitro study

Highlights • We evaluated the antimicrobial photodynamic therapy to inactivate S. aureus biofilms. • We used an in vitro model to form biofilms on bone tissues. • The experimental treatments showed a significant reduction compared with the control group. • Compact specimens showed the greatest reduc...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • We evaluated the antimicrobial photodynamic therapy to inactivate S. aureus biofilms. • We used an in vitro model to form biofilms on bone tissues. • The experimental treatments showed a significant reduction compared with the control group. • Compact specimens showed the greatest reduction in biofilms compared with cancellous specimens.
