Antimicrobial Effects of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid Mediated Photodynamic Therapy against Pathogenic Bacteria

This study evaluates the improved effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) by subjecting pathogenic bacteria to a combination of 630 nm light-emitting diode (LED) and 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA). Bacterial suspensions of 1.5×104 cells/mL were diluted and exposed to ALA concentrations of 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25...
