PHOTODYNAMIC ANTI-GRAM-POSITIVE BACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF PHARMACEUTICAL-GRADE ROSE BENGAL

This invention contemplates combined use of a rose bengal (RB) derivative with irradiation of bacteria with light to treat and kill the irradiated bacteria. In one aspect, Gram-positive bacteria are treated in a method in which the bacteria are contacted with an aqueous pharmaceutical composition containing a rose bengal (RB) compound of Formula I, discussed within, dissolved or dispersed therein at about 0.2 to about 3.1 µg/mL. Those contacted bacteria are contacted with light of the wavelength about 500 nm to about 600 nm for a time period of about 1 to about 10 minutes to provide a light dose of about 0.7 to about 7.2 J/cm2. A similar method is contemplated for treating Gram-negative bacteria that are one or more of Burkholderia, Salmonella, and Proteus using an aqueous pharmaceutical composition containing about 2 to about 15 µM concentration of the RB compound..
