Abstract

To evaluate the antibacterial efficacy of photo-activated riboflavin using Ultraviolet A (UVA) on three bacterial strains commonly detected in keratitis. Three bacterial strains (Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) were cultured on blood/hematin-agar plates and dispersed in PBS. Dispersion was done of 10 microl of bacterial stock-solutions in 90 microl of RPMI, where different riboflavin molarities had been added, to achieve a bacterial concentration of 1-4 x 10 (4)/ml. Riboflavin end molarities before illumination were 0, 100, 200, 300 and 400 microM. Each solution had a negative control. The solutions were illuminated with UVA (365 nm) for 30 minutes (5.4 J/cm(2)) and then continued for a total time of 60 minutes (10.8 J/cm(2)). A count of CFU was conducted after incubation and results compared. In all tested strains, a slight decrease of bacteria was seen when exposed to UV for 30 minutes. A doubling of the UV dose showed a marked decrease of bacterial count in all bacteria tested. The combination of UV and riboflavin showed a more extensive reduction of CFU, confirming an interaction effect between UV and riboflavin. Riboflavin photo-activation using UVA (365 nm) can achieve an exte...Continue Reading

CRISPR & Staphylococcus

CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Staphylococci are associated with life-threatening infections in hospitals, as well as the community. Here is the latest research on how CRISPR-Cas system can be used for treatment of Staphylococcal infections.
