Abstract
Disinfection of materials is one of the ways to prevent infection, chemical disinfectants are toxic and can cause respiratory problems during handling. The material proposed to manufacture the prototype was steel. This work aimed to disinfect steel samples, containing biofilm with S. aureus, using Photodynamic Therapy, Prior to the biofilm culture, the steel sample received electropolishing treatment to increase microbial adhesion. The results showed an increase in biofilm of 6.2 log10 CFU/mL, after electropolishing performed on the steel surface and a total reduction of biofilm with S. aureus, after application of PDT with AM and urea within 10 minutes, this reduction can be compared to intermediate level disinfection. We conclude that it is possible to use PDT for disinfection, cautiously.
