Effectiveness of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy using a 660nm laser and methyline blue dye for inactivating Staphylococcus aureus biofilms in compact and cancellous bones: An in vitro study

•We evaluated the antimicrobial photodynamic therapy to inactivate S. aureus biofilms.•We used an in vitro model to form biofilms on bone tissues.•The experimental treatments showed a significant reduction compared with the control group.•Compact specimens showed the greatest reduction in biofilms c...
