Keywords: pathogenic microorganisms, antibiotic-resistant strains, photodynamic therapy, methylene blue, potassium iodide
Abstarct: The article describes the results of combined treatment of chronic bacterial cystitis caused by antibiotic-resistant strains of microorganisms, treatment combining endoscopic antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) and antibiotic therapy. Methylene blue, the effect of which was potentiated by potassium iodide, was used as a photosensitizer for aPDT; antibiotic therapy drugs were administered due to the bacteriological analysis of urine.
