Abstract

The worldwide threat of antibiotic resistance requires alternative strategies to fight bacterial infections. A promising approach to support conventional antibiotic therapy is the antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation (aPDI). The aim of this work was to show further insights into the antimicrobial photodynamic principle using two photosensitizers (PS) of different chemical classes, Methylene ...
