ABSTRACT
In this study, we present antimicrobial blue light (aBL) and antimicrobial photoinactivation with green light in the presence of Rose Bengal (aPDI) to modulate the susceptibility of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Enterobacter cloacae and Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates to antimicrobials. This process can be considered a photodynamic priming tool that influences other therapeutic options, such as antibiotics. The current study evaluated the different environments to estimate the most effective priming conditions by testing a broad spectrum of antimicrobials (including antimicrobials with different targets and mechanisms of action). The susceptibility of the E. cloacae and K. pneumoniae clinical isolates to various antibiotics after aBL and green light (with rose bengal) as aPDI treatment was examined with multiple methods of synergy testing (e.g., diffusion methods, checkerboard assay, postantibiotic effect), and most effective photoinactivation conditions were implemented for each environment. When Enterobacteriaceae were exposed to aBL, the most efficient reduction in survival rate under TSB conditions was observed. Similar results were observed when rose bengal, as a photosensitizer, was present during the exposure to green light in PBS. aBL and aPDI led to an increased susceptibility of K. pneumoniae and E. cloacae isolates to chloramphenicol and colistin or fosfomycin and colistin antibiotics, respectively. However, among the 4 tested isolates, we observed synergies between different antimicrobial agents and photoinactivation conditions. Thus, it may suggest that the sensitization process may be considered a strain dependent priming tool.
