## Abstract ## Background and Objective: Studies on the photobactericidal efficacy of methylene blue (MB) and toluidine blue (TB) have shown inconsistent results in the literature. This study evaluated the bactericidal efficacy of MB and TB against different bacteria under light and dark condition
Background and Objectives: Methylene blue (MB) and toluidine blue (TB) form metachromatic complexes with lipopolysaccharides (LPS). The greater photobactericidal efficacy of TB may be explained by its affinity for LPS. This study aims to elucidate the difference in photobactericidal efficacies betwe
