Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of toluidine blue-mediated photodynamic therapy on experimental bacterial keratitis in rabbits. Methods: Bacterial keratitis was induced in rabbits by the injection of 200 mu l Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) solution into the anterior stroma of the right cornea. Rabbits were randomly divided into four groups: toluidine blue O and red light (TBOR), levofloxacin eye drops (LEV), the combination of TBOR and LEV (TBOR + LEV), and a control group. Clinical manifestations, histopathology, and transmission electron microscopy were analyzed at various time points. Results: Conjunctival injection and surface area of the corneal ulcer in the TBOR group and the TBOR + LEV group showed significant improvement from baseline after 7 days of treatment. Compared to baseline, the depth of corneal infiltration was decreased at day 14 in the TBOR and TBOR + LEV groups. Microscopic analysis of the TBOR and TBOR + LEV groups showed that the structure of each layer was intact, and there were no inflammatory cells in the corneal stroma. Additionally, IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha were highly expressed in the LEV and control groups but were lower in the TBOR and TBOR + LEV groups. Under transmission electron microscopy, the corneas in the TBOR and TBOR + LEV groups were intact, whereas in the LEV and control groups, double-walled structures corresponding to S. aureus were found in the superficial stromal layer. Conclusions: TBOR demonstrated in vivo antibacterial efficacy against S. aureus. Translational Relevance: This study found in vivo antibacterial efficacy of toluidine blue-mediated photodynamic therapy on rabbit experimental bacterial keratitis, thus providing an additional new option for clinical treatment of bacterial keratitis.
