Abstract

Background and Objectives Laser generated shockwave (LGS) is a novel modality for minimally invasive disruption of bacterial biofilms. The objectives of this study are to determine the mechanisms behind LGS treatment and non-biofilm effects on bacterial disruption, including (1) comparing bacterial load with and without LGS in its planktonic form and (2) estimating bacterial cell permeability following LGS. Study Design/Materials and Methods For the first study, planktonic S. epidermidis were treated with gentamicin (0, 8, 16, 32, 64 μg/ml) with and without LGS (1064 nm Nd:YAG laser, 110.14 mJ/mm2 , pulse duration 9 ns, spot size 3 mm, n = 8/group), and absorbances at 600 nm compared. For the second study, four samples of planktonic S. epidermidis were treated with LGS (same settings). Propidium iodide (PI) uptake via flow cytometry as a measure of cell permeability was measured at 0, 10, and 20 minutes following LGS. RESULTS: In comparing corresponding gentamicin concentrations within both LGS-treated samples and controls at 0 hours, there were no differences in absorbance (P = 0.923 and P = 0.814, respectively). Flow cytometry found modest PI uptake (10.4 ± 2.5%) immediately following LGS treatment, with time-dependent increa...Continue Reading
