Influence of aBL and aPDI on A. baumannii strains. (A) aBL treatment of A. baumannii isolates. Light doses ranging from 9.1 to 109.1 J/cm2 (irradiance 130 mW/cm2, irradiation time from 79 to 952 s, λ 411 nm) were applied to two XDR strains (blue bars – strain no. 128; green bars – strain no. 127. (B) aPDI treatment of A. baumannii strain no. 128. Light doses ranging from 20 to 300 J/cm2 (irradiance 70 mW/cm2, irradiation time from 303 to 4545 s, λ 515 nm) and two rose bengal concentrations were tested (green diamonds – 10 μM; blue squares – 5 μM). (C) aPDI treatment of A. baumannii strain no. 127. Light doses ranging from 20 to 240 J/cm2 (irradiance 70 mW/cm2, irradiation time from 303 to 3636 s; λ 515 nm) and two rose bengal concentrations were tested (green diamonds – 10 μM; blue squares – 5 μM). The detection limit was 10 CFU/ml. The values are the means of three separate experiments. Values were combined by a line for better visualization of the data.
