- W2050778897 abstract "Bacterial biofilms on long-term catheters are a major source of infection. Exposure to ultraviolet C (UVC – 265 nm) light was shown in an earlier study to reduce the number of bacteria substantially on ex vivo treated urinary patient catheters. Very large doses (long treatment times) should, however, be applied to obtain 99.9% disinfection rates. The major reason was that besides cells the mature biofilm contained absorbing and scattering particulates, which made the biofilm opaque. The potential of UVC light emitting diodes (LED) for disinfection purposes in catheter-like tubes contaminated with biofilm was investigated. It was shown that UVC light propagation was possible through both Teflon and catheter tubes (silicone). The disinfection efficiency of the diodes was demonstrated on tubes contaminated artificially with a Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm. The tubes were connected to a flow system and biofilms were produced during a 3 day period. Tubes in lengths of 10 (Teflon, silicone) and 20 cm (Teflon) were contaminated. Tubes for control and for UVC treatment were contaminated in parallel. Biofilms were sampled from the total inner surface of the tubes. Colony counts on the control samples were in the range of 5 × 105–1.3 × 109 CFU ml−1, with disinfection rates in the range 96–100%. The applied UVC doses corresponded to treatment times between 15 and 300 min. Disinfection (100%) was obtained in 10 cm Teflon tubes exposed for 30 min (detection limit <5 CFU ml−1). The same result was obtained for a 20 cm Teflon tube exposed for 300 min. The disinfection rate was 96% for the 20 cm tube if the dose was reduced to 30 min. A disinfection rate of 99.99% was observed for a 10 cm peritoneal dialysis catheter tube (silicone) exposed for 300 min. Differences between the tubes were dependent on the differences in length and the type of the material. The UVC light was transmitted six times more efficiently in Teflon than in silicone tubes of equal length (10 cm). The germicidal effect to obtain a 99.99% killing rate for the biofilm (∼78 J m−2) is comparable to that for the planktonic bacterium. It is concluded that there is potential for LED UVC light sources if they are used for disinfection of thin biofilms." @default.
