In recent years the photodynamic activity of rose bengal activated with green light against selected bacterial strains has been reported. However, according to our knowledge, the differences between the sensitivity of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains in the presence of this photosensitizer have not been described. The aim of the conducted research was to examine the antibacterial effect of 535 nm wavelength diode laser light in the presence of rose bengal as photosensitizer on selected reference bacterial strains: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus. Sterile 96-well microtiter plates were used to determine the antibacterial activity of the green light and rose bengal solutions at various concentrations. The labelled bacterial suspensions were placed to each well of the 96-well microtiter plate filled with liquid medium LB and solution of rose bengal. The plates were exposed to green diode laser light. After 24 hours of incubation at 37oC, the turbidance was read in a spectrophotometer. The irradiation in the presence of photosensitizer can act in an antibacterial manner, either bacteriostatically or bactericidally. The tested strains exhibit different sensitivity to irradiation because of the structure of the cell wall, the presence of different bacterial pigments and photoreceptor proteins in some species of bacteria. Gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis were the most photosensitive strains due to the higher possibility of rose bengal penetration into the bacterial cell, leading to the bacteriostatic effect. Our results show that rose bengal may be applied in the treatment of Gram-positive infections.
