Abstract

The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the last century is alarming and calls for alternative, nonchemical treatment strategies. Thermal medicine uses heat for the treatment of infectious diseases but its use in facultative and obligate intracellular bacteria remains poorly studied. In this review, we summarize previous research on reducing the infectious burden of Mycobacterium ulcerans and Chlamydia trachomatis by using water-filtered infrared A-radiation (wIRA), a special form of heat radiation with high tissue penetrati
