Retraction notice: Antimicrobial effect of blue light on antibiotic-sensitive and drug-resistant Escherichia coli: a novel isotropic optical fibre

Key Points

• This notice addresses the retraction of findings regarding blue light's antimicrobial effect on Escherichia coli.
• The original study employed blue light therapy using an isotropic optical fibre to test its effects on E. coli.
• Both antibiotic-sensitive and drug-resistant strains of Escherichia coli were evaluated.
• The original findings could not be substantiated and are retracted due to issues identified with the data.
• No specific quantitative data or outcomes were provided in the retraction notice.
