Abstract
Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important causative agent of bacterial keratitis. This study investigates the antibacterial effect of photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) with the chlorin derivative TONS504 (TONS504-PACT) and a blue light-emitting diode (LED) on P. aeruginosain vitro. It also explores the synergistic effects of combining TONS504-PACT with EDTA, and compares the antibacterial effects of TONS504-PACT using blue light with those of previously reported red light.
Methods: To evaluate the antibacterial effects of TONS504-PACT using blue light on P. aeruginosa, PACT with TONS504 (0-100 mg/L) was applied using a 405 nm LED at 0-30 J/cm2 to P. aeruginosa (107-8 CFU/mL). The antibacterial effects were assessed by calculating the survival fraction. Subsequently, to compare the effects of TONS504-PACT using blue light with those of using red light, PACT with TONS504 (10 or 100 mg/L) was conducted using a 405 or 660 nm LED at 30 J/cm2 and evaluated in the same manner. Finally, to investigate the synergistic antibacterial effects of TONS504-PACT with EDTA, PACT with TONS504 (0-100 mg/L) was applied using a 405 nm LED at 5 J/cm2, both with and without EDTA (0.015 M), and its antibacterial effects were similarly assessed.
Results: TONS504-PACT using blue light decreased the survival of P. aeruginosa, depending on the light intensity. The greatest antibacterial effect was observed at 10 mg/L and 30 J/cm2, showing a survival fraction of 3.5 × 10-5. TONS504-PACT demonstrated a significantly greater antibacterial effect using blue light than that demonstrated using red light at 10 mg/L, though not at 100 mg/L. The combination of TONS504-PACT using blue light with EDTA significantly enhanced antibacterial effects at all concentrations.
Conclusion: These findings confirm the effectiveness of TONS504-PACT using blue light against P. aeruginosa and suggest its potential as a treatment for bacterial keratitis.
