Abstract
⺠We examined new biofilms formed by previously exposed bacterial biofilm to blue light. ⺠Sublethal light dose does not interfere with bacterial capability to reform a new biofilm. ⺠A decrease in bacterial viability was found in the newly formed biofilms. ⺠Dead bacteria were mainly at the outer layers of the biofilm. ⺠Blue light has a delayed antibacterial effect on the re-organize bacteria in biofilm.
