Efficacy of Photodynamic Inactivation against the Major Human Antibiotic-Resistant Uropathogens

Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) is considered to be an effective method of prevention of postoperative complications of urolithiasis. The present study shows a complex approach to assess the efficacy of PDI of drug resistant bacteria associated with renal calculi. Bacterial strains associated with r...

description Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) is considered to be an effective method of prevention of postoperative complications of urolithiasis. The present study shows a complex approach to assess the efficacy of PDI of drug resistant bacteria associated with renal calculi. Bacterial strains associated with renal calculi were isolated and identified using standard methods of bacteriological analysis and tested for drug resistance to 10 antibiotics by the disco-diffusion method. Uropathogenic bacterial strains present in 78.7 ± 5.2% of the infected samples from the total number of analyzed calculi. The most frequent representatives belonged to the genera <i>Staphylococcus</i>, <i>Escherichia</i>, and <i>Enterococcus</i>. All tested strains showed high antibiotic resistance. Representatives of the most common bacterial genera in the calculi were used as models for the selection of PD exposure modes. It was found that the maximum time of photosensitizer accumulation depends on the structure of the bacterial cell wall: 30 min for Gram-negative strains and 60 min for Gram-positive ones. Optimal modes of PD exposure to antibiotic-resistant uropathogenic microorganisms were selected: 50 µg/mL Fotoditazin and 150 mW laser power. The maximal bactericidal activity of PDI against uropathogenic microorganisms was shown for <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i>, and <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>. The bacteriostatic effect was found against <i>Escherichia coli</i> and <i>Proteus mirabilis.</i>
