Background: Laser therapy is a low cost, non-invasive procedure with good healing results. Doubts exist as to whether laser therapy action on microorganisms can justify research aimed at investigating its possible effects on bacteria-infected wounds.
Objective: To assess the effect of low intensity laser on the rate of bacterial contamination in infected wounds in the skin of rats.
