Low laser therapy (photobiomodulation) on bacteria of pressure ulcers: in vitro studies
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.33233/fb.v19i3.2438Abstract
The biological effects promoted by low power laser result in faster wound healing. However, wounds are very complex systems from both host and microbial point of view. Since infection is a common cause of delayed wound healing, it is important to understand the effect of low-level laser therapy in bacterial growth. This mini-review summaries the current evidence about effects of low level laser on bacteria vitro studies.
Key-words: Low power laser, infected injury, bacteria.
