Bactericide effect of methylene blue associated with low-level laser therapy in Escherichia coli bacteria isolated from pressure ulcers.

The present study analyzed the bactericidal effect of methylene blue associated with low-level lasers on Escherichia coli isolated from a pressure ulcer. Microbiological material from a pressure ulcer was isolated using an aseptic swab, and antimicrobial activity was verified using the diffusion disc method. Methylene blue was used at concentrations of 0.
