Susceptibility of bacterial species commonly found in abdominal abscesses to low-dose photodynamic therapy: Effects of methylene blue concentration, fluence rate, and fluence

Darrian S. Hawryluk, Martin S. Pavelka, Timothy M. Baran

This study evaluates the effectiveness of low-dose photodynamic therapy on four common abdominal abscess bacteria, finding that Gram-positive species are more susceptible than Gram-negative ones.
