Bactericidal Effects of 405 nm Light Exposure Demonstrated by Inactivation of <i>Escherichia, Salmonella, Shigella, Listeria, and Mycobacterium</i> Species in Liquid Suspensions and on Exposed Surfaces

<table>Inactivation of <i>S. sonnei, E. coli, S. enterica, L. monocytogenes,</i> and <i>M. terrae</i> in liquid suspension, by exposure to high-intensity 405 nm light of an irradiance of approximately 10 mW cm<sup>–2</sup>.  Control samples remained constant throughout experimentation in all cases (data not shown). *Indicates where a light-exposed bacterial count was significantly different from the non-exposed control count (<svg height="12.4875" id="M14" style="vertical-align:-1.29163pt" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 56.150002 12.4875" width="56.150002" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
