ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy(aPDT) has been used to treat localized cutaneous fungal infections that have an enhanced antifungal susceptibility profile. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ALA aPDT on both the growth and the antimicrobial and antifungal susceptibility of Prototheca wickerhamii.

METHODS:

Six isolates of P. wickerhamii were used in the present study. The inocula in sterile 6-well microtiter plates were irradiated with narrow band LED (633 ± 10 nm) at the light intensity of 100 mW/cm2 and at a distance of 1 cm for 900 s. The ALA was tested at concentrations of 1, 5, and 10 mmol/l, while 10-µl aliquots of suspensions from each group were inoculated on Sabouraud dextrose agar to test the photoinactivation. Antibiotic susceptibility was investigated by the disc-diffusion method.

RESULTS:

Our study shows ALA aPDT induced 46% ± 24.23% reduction of the growth of all tested P. wickerhamii strains in T1 group. ALA aPDT induced 50.39% ± 19.88% reduction of the growth of all tested P. wickerhamii strains in T2 group. ALA aPDT induced 52.68 ± 20.22% reduction of the growth of all tested P. wickerhamii strains inT3 group. Single ALA aPDT induced 32.97% ± 1.6% growith reduction of three tested strains(O23d, O23e and 62,207), while repeated ALA aPDT induced 51.65 ± 2.91% reduction of the growth(P value = 0.000). There were no significant difference of the inhibitory zone diameter of both antibacterial and antifungal agents before and after ALA aPDT.

CONCLUSIONS:

ALA aPDT can inactivate the growth of P. wickerhamii, and repeated aPDT has more photoinactivation of P. wickerhamii. ALA aPDT does not change antibacterial agents and antifungal drugs susceptibility profile of P. wickerhamii.
