Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is common in hospitals and community. A common approach to overcome bacterial resistance is by discovering new antimicrobial medicines. However, one of the alternative approaches is to change the way the bacteria behave against antibiotics. This study was conducted to investigate how LASER can alter the antibiotic sensitivity of different bacteria isolated from hospitalized patients. Antibiotic sensitivity on isolated bacteria was assessed by Kirby-Bauer antibiotic disk sensitivity test. The effect of exposure to LASER was investigated using CO2 LASER. The results indicated that exposure to LASER changes the way the bacteria behave against antimicrobials either by inhibiting bacterial resistance or increasing bacterial sensitivity to antibiotics. The mechanism is still unclear.
