Blue 470-nm light kills methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in vitro
Chukuka Enwemeka, PT, PhD, FACSM and his research team from New York Institute of Technology were able to show that using photo-irradiation techniques, specifically, 470-nm wavelength of light, in the blue region of the light spectrum, killed colonies of the resistant strains of bacteria. The team was also able to demonstrate that this wavelength could be used in a clinical setting, for close range photo-irradiation where infection of MRSA is cutaneous or subcutaneous, i.e. close to the surface. The Nigeria Physiotherapy Network congratulates Dr. Enwemeka and his team for this BREAKTHROUGH scientific discovery.
