ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: to compare the effects of low intensity laser therapy on in vitro bacterial growth and in vivo in infected wounds, and to analyze the effectiveness of the AsGa Laser technology in in vivo wound infections. METHODS: in vitro: Staphylococcus aureus were incubated on blood agar plates, half of them being irradiated with 904 nm wavelength laser and dose of 3J/cm2 daily for seven days. In vivo: 32 male Wistar rats were divided into control group (uninfected) and Experimental Group (Infected). Half of the animals had their wounds irradiated. RESULTS: in vitro: there was no statistically significant variation between the experimental groups as for the source plates and the derived ones (p>0.05). In vivo: there was a significant increase in the deposition of type I and III collagen in the wounds of the infected and irradiated animals when assessed on the fourth day of the experiment (p=0.034). CONCLUSION: low-intensity Laser Therapy applied with a wavelength of 904nm and dose 3J/cm2 did not alter the in vitro growth of S. aureus in experimental groups; in vivo, however, it showed significant increase in the deposition of type I and III collagen in the wound of infected and irradiated animals on the fourth day of the experiment. .


OBJETIVO: comparar os efeitos da terapia a laser de baixa intensidade no crescimento bacteriano in vitro e em feridas infectadas in vivo, e analisar a efetividade da tecnologia Laser AsGa, em feridas infectadas in vivo. MÉTODOS: in vitro: cepas de Staphylococcus aureus foram incubadas em placas de agar-sangue e irradiadas com laser de 904nm de comprimento de onda e dose de 3J/cm2, diariamente durante sete dias. In vivo: 32 ratos machos Wistar foram distribuídos em Grupo Controle (Não Infectado) e Grupo Experimental (Infectados). Metade dos ratos tiveram suas feridas irradiadas e a outra metade não irradiada, como realizado no estudo in vitro. RESULTADOS: in vitro: não houve variação estatística significativa entre os grupos experimentais, considerando as placas matrizes e derivadas (p>0,05). In vivo: houve aumento significativo na deposição de colágeno tipo I e III na cicatriz do grupo dos animais infectados e irradiados, quando avaliados no quarto dia de experimento (p=0,034). CONCLUSÃO: a Low-Intensity Laser Therapy aplicada com comprimento de onda de 904nm e dose de 3J/cm2, in vitro: não alterou o crescimento de S. aureus nos grupos experimentais. In vivo: mostrou aumento significativo na deposição de colágeno tipo I e III na cicatriz no grupo dos animais infectados e irradiados no quarto dia de experimento. .
