Artigo IPEN-doc 14837 The irradiation parameters investigation of photodynamic therapy on yeast cells2008 - PRATES, RENATO A.; SILVA, ERIQUES G. da; YAMADA JUNIOR, AECIO M.; SUZUKI, LUIS C.; PAULA, CLAUDETE R.; RIBEIRO, MARTHA S.It has been proposed that photodynamic therapy (PDT) can inactivate microbial cells. A range of photosensitizers and light sources were reported as well as different fluence parameters and dye concentrations. However, much more knowledge regarding to the role of fluences, irradiation time and irradiance are required for a better understanding of the photodynamic efficiency. The aims of this study were to investigate the role of light parameters on the photoinactivation of yeast cells, and compare cell survivors in different growing phases following PDT. To perform this study, a suspension (106cfu/mL) of Candida albicans ATCC-90028 was used in log and stationary-phase. Three irradiances 100mW/cm2, 200mW/cm2 and 300mW/cm2 were compared under 3min, 6min and 9min of irradiation, resulting in fluences of 18, 36, 54, 72,108 and 162J/cm2. The light source used was a laser emitting at 660nm with output power of 30, 60 and 90mW. As photosensitizer, 100μΜ methylene blue was used. PDT was efficient against yeast cells (6 log reduction) in log and stationary-phase. Neither photosensitizer nor light alone presented any reduction of cell viability. The increase of irradiance and time of irradiation showed a clearly improvement of cell photoinactivation. Interestingly, the same fluences in different irradiances presented dissimilar effects on cell viability. The irradiance and time of irradiation are important in PDT efficiency. Fluence per se is not the best parameter to compare photoinativation effects on yeast cells. The growing-phases presented the same susceptibility under C. albicans photoinactivation.Artigo IPEN-doc 15656 Real time optical coherence tomography monitoring of Candida albicans biofilm in vitro during photodynamic treatment2010 - SUZUKI, LUIS C.; PRATES, RENATO A.; RAELE, MARCUS P.; FREITAS, ANDERSON Z. de; RIBEIRO, MARTHA S.
