| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus aureus is generally known to be susceptible to photoinactivation. However, the phenomenon of its strain-dependent response to photodynamic treatment has been reported. Moreover, the factors determining the emerging variation among strains according to photoinactivation remain unclear. METHODS: This work aimed to investigate any relevant correlation between bacterial toleration of oxidative stress, porphyrin level, photosensitizer uptake and strain's virulence of studied methicillin-susceptible and methicillin-resistant S. aureus strains and their response to photodynamic inactivation (using protoporphyrin diarginate, toluidine blue O and 5-aminolevulinic acid). RESULTS: Obtained data let to demonstrate that studied factors have limited impact on strain response to PDI. However, we have shown that multicomponent sensitizing agent i.e. consisted of PPArg2, ALA and TBO would eliminate the S. aureus elevated resistance to photoinactivation and that both highly virulent and low virulent S. aureus strains could be easily eradicated with the use of PDI. Moreover, we have shown that photodynamic inactivation could decrease the virulence of S. aureus extracellular fraction. CONCLUSION: The mechanism underlying strain-dependent response to photoinactivation is complex and multifactorial nevertheless with the use of several sensitizing agents the elevated resistance to photodynamic treatment can be omitted. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
