How Light Turns Ordinary Hydrogen Peroxide into a MRSA Treatment
2019, THE BRINK – Pioneering Research from Boston University
Photonics researchers at Boston University have developed a drug-free treatment for tough-to-treat MRSA infections. Their technique, which they are preparing to take into a clinical trial, uses phototherapy and hydrogen peroxide to kill 99.9 percent of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Photoinactivation of Catalase Sensitizes Candida albicans and Candida auris to ROS-Producing Agents and Immune Cells
2022, April 5 Advanced Science, Volume9, Issue10.
Catalase residing inside bacteria could be effectively inactivated by blue light, subsequently
rendering the pathogens extremely vulnerable to H2O2 and H2O2-producing agents.
Blue light may be the key to defeating MRSA
2020, MEDICALNEWSTODAY
Scientists in Boston, looking into new optical microscope techniques, have unexpectedly been able to break down MRSA’s surrounding membrane, using blue light.
金色的“葡萄”会致病，不如给它漂个白？
2019, 我是科学家
这组来自波士顿大学的研究团队对金黄色葡萄球菌进行显微观察时，发现使用特定波长（450-470nm）的蓝光照射金黄色葡萄球菌时会发生光漂白现象。而这种光漂白现象的出现意味着葡萄球菌黄素的降解。
