The purpose of this research is to assess the effect of Antibacterial photo-dynamic inhibition technique(APDT) in combating multiple resistance clinical isolates (MDRCI). Theera of antibiotic resistance opened new doors for scientists in the discovery of new antibiotics and new more chemotherapeutic agents, these discoveries leads to easy treatment of variety of bacterial infection. For this study, multidrug resistance isolates of Vibrio cholera and Staphylococcus aureus and susceptible strain of Staphylococcus epidermidiswere used for this research work. All isolates were from clinical sources. Riboflavin (vitamin B2 ) was used as photo-sensitizer at different logarithmic concentrations ranging from 100 to 104 , while the light source was from a UV foto-dyne documentation effecting photons at 300nm. There were controls for all the pathogens used and grouped as blank, light and ribofl.. Read More»
