The bactericidal effect of 470 nm light and hyperbaric oxygen on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)

It has been shown that, in vitro, hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) suppresses 28% bacterial growth, while 470 nm blue light alone suppresses up to 92% methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in one application in vitro. Therefore, we determined if combined 470 nm light (55 J/cm(2)) and HBO will yi...
