Abstract

Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a virulent form of staphylococcus easily spread and to control. When contracted it can be exceedingly difficult to control especially where healthcare is not readily available. Blue light at wavelengths above 400 nm and doses near 60 J/cm ² are shown to be effective at controlling infections.
