Abstract:

Bacterial resistance to antimicrobials is an alarming situation and of current concern in the medical field. As a result, it´s necessary to employ alternative methods to fight resistant microorganisms this is due to a variety of reasons, including selfmedication, antibiotic abuse in livestock and even mutations of microorganisms. There for new technologies have emerged that allow us to combat them in an efficient, non-invasive and easy-to-apply ways, such as the application of light as harmless radiation to humans and highly effective for prevention of cross-infection. It has been found, for example, that the use of blue light applied to certain types of microorganisms causes cellular changes that result in their destruction through the release of free radicals which are highly detrimental to their survival but do not cause damage to the tissues of the organism carrying the pathogen. The objective of this work is to highlight these new technologies and to emphasize the importance of incorporating them into the current therapeutics through the training of professionals for their correct use and greater performance.
