Sensitivity of MRSA to ultraviolet radiation

A Study of Bacterial Sensitivity to Ultraviolet Radiation'

Previous studies ( Bachem and Dushkin, 1932) on the reactions of bacteria to ultraviolet light have demonstrated that these organisms re spond with different sensitivities according to various experimental con ditions. Variables, such as the wave length utilized, the age of the bac terial culture, and the temperature at which the organisms are maintained will all be reflected in the bacterial s...

Ultraviolet radiation sensitivity in vitiligo and adjacent normal skin.

Familial melanoma associated with dominant ultraviolet radiation sensitivity.

Sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation was studied in lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from 32 members of two families with histories of multiple primary melanomas in several generations. As assayed by colony formation in agar or by trypan blue exclusion following irradiation, cellular sensitivity showed a bimodal distribution. All persons with melanoma or multiple moles were in the sensitive gr...

Systemic Response to Ultraviolet Radiation

Evaluation of solar ultraviolet radiation in Zanjan city using the ultraviolet index

Background and Objective: Monitoring the amount of ultraviolet radiation from sunlight can provide a basis for assessing people's exposure, raise public awareness and warn people against this radiation. Measuring the sun's ultraviolet index over a working period is an accurate choice to achieve this goal. Materials and Methods: In this study, the amount of solar UV index in one of the outdoor ...
