Resumo

The objective of this study was to prepare mixed cultures of both sensitive and resistant bacteria of the same species in varying proportions (20% and 80%, 50% and 50% and 80% and 20%) We aimed to analyze the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) both before and after photoinactivation treatment. This treatment involved the use of the synthetic photosensitizer curcumin 5 mM (PDTPharma (R)) and irradiation with an LED lighting device (Biotable (R) - produced by MM Optics-Brasil) emitting a wavelength of 450 nm, at 40 mW/cm(2), and a light dose of 10 J/cm(2). The purpose was to examine the impact of photodynamic action on the spread of bacterial resistance. Combating the proliferation of antimicrobial resistance is a critical global health issue, necessitating treatment methods that adequately address this challenge. (AU)
