A method and composition for destroying microbes, especially bacteria, in the body utilizing Safranin O in conjunction with electromagnetic radiation is disclosed. In a preferred method, a composition comprising Safranin O is introduced to a treatment area. After a sufficient period of time has elapsed, radiation of a suitable wavelength is applied to the area to activate the Safranin O and by a photodynamic reaction to destroy the bacteria. Preferred radiation has a wavelength around 530 nm. This method is effective for destroying both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and is particularly effective in areas where complex media such as blood serum, blood or saliva are also present. |
