PHOTOBIOMODULATION IN A SURGICAL WOUND CONTAMINATED BY KLEBISIELLA IN A DOG'S ESOPHAGEAL TUBE

Abstract

The bacterium Klebsiella spp. is opportunistic and can be isolated from various animal species and humans. They are known to cause serious nosocomial infections, including pneumonia and primary bloodstream infections, and are found in the environment and on the mucosal surfaces of mammals. They can easily survive in hospitals, being transmitted from patient to patient through the hands of health professionals working in the veterinary hospital environment, and difficult to solve due to their high resistance to commonly used antibiotics. Photobiomodulation is a treatment option that has no resistance to bacteria, fungi and viruses, being a safe and effective form of treatment for numerous pathologies. This report brings the importance of hygiene care with hospitalized patients and a new treatment option, showing that integrative treatment works and does not cause side effects.
