Antimicrobial blue light inactivation of international clones of multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli ST10, ST131 and ST648

International clones of multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli have been a leading cause of human and animal infections worldwide. Microbial inactivation by blue light has been proposed as an effective treatment for superficial infections and surface contamination.To evaluate the inactivation efficacy of blue light irradiation against high-risk multidrug-resistant strains of E. coli.Blue LED light (λ = 410 nm) was used to inactivate in vitro...
