P. aeruginosa is a gram-negative bacterium present in nosocomial infections with high morbidity and mortality. This microorganism is frequently resistant to antibiotics, leading to clinical complications. In the present report, we described a clinical case of a patient with severe oral lesions caused by P. aeruginosa, which was refractory to antibiotics treatment and presented positive clinical outcomes after some sessions of antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation (API) mediated by methylene blue dye. We discuss the potential of API for P. aeruginosa refractory infections and possible resistance mechanisms of this microorganism to different API protocols.
