BiofUms were grown on hydroxyapatite, irradiated with up to 12.2 J of light from a gallium aluminium arsenide laser in the presence of aluminium disulphonated phthalocyanine (AlPcS2) and survivors enumerated. No significant decrease in the viable count was found when either the AlPcS2 or the laser light was used alone. There was a light dose related decrease in the viable counts of irradiated AJPcS2 treated biofims. No viable streptococci were detectable following irradiation with 12.2 J of laser light. © 1996 The British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy Brief reports nationallicence Wilson Michael Department of Microbiology, Eastman Dental Institute of Oral Health Care Sciences, University of London, 256 Grays Inn Road, London WCIX 8LD, UK aut Burns Tracy Department of Microbiology, Eastman Dental Institute of Oral Health Care Sciences, University of London, 256 Grays Inn Road, London WCIX 8LD, UK aut Pratten Jonathan Department of Microbiology, Eastman Dental Institute of Oral Health Care Sciences, University of London, 256 Grays Inn Road, London WCIX 8LD, UK aut Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy Oxford University Press 37/2(1996-02), 377-381 0305-7453 37:2<377 1996 37 jac https://doi.org/10.1093/jac/37.2.377 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 brief-communication jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/jac/37.2.377 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Wilson Michael Department of Microbiology, Eastman Dental Institute of Oral Health Care Sciences, University of London, 256 Grays Inn Road, London WCIX 8LD, UK aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Burns Tracy Department of Microbiology, Eastman Dental Institute of Oral Health Care Sciences, University of London, 256 Grays Inn Road, London WCIX 8LD, UK aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Pratten Jonathan Department of Microbiology, Eastman Dental Institute of Oral Health Care Sciences, University of London, 256 Grays Inn Road, London WCIX 8LD, UK aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy Oxford University Press 37/2(1996-02), 377-381 0305-7453 37:2<377 1996 37 jac Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
