Abstract
Bacterial biofilms are a pervasive issue in orthopaedic surgery causing up to 80% of infections. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is a proposed technique for eradication of biofilms, clinical translation requires optimization of treatment parameters. This study assessed the effectiveness of three light spectra in activating photosensitizing porphyrins to kill a dual species biofilm of E. Coli and E. faecalis grown in a microfluidic device. Blue-red, amber, or blue-amber-red light sources were compared at either 30J/cm2 or 60J/cm2 doses given to activate endogenously produced porphyrins after one hour incubation with 10 or 20% 5-ALA in a saline solution. Changes in biomass 24 hours after treatment were measured using confocal microscopy and OCT to determine treatment effectiveness.
