This article explores the novel gold nanoparticle–enhanced photodynamic therapy of
methylene blue against recalcitrant pathogenic Candida albicans biofilm. Physiochemical (X …

Background Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been found to be effective in inhibiting biofilm
producing organisms. We investigated the photodynamic effect of gold nanoparticle (GNP) …

We aimed to determine whether gold nanoparticles (GNPs) could enhance the efficiency of
methylene blue (MB)-induced photodynamic inactivation (PDI) of methicillin-resistant …

The persistence of multidrug resistance among microorganisms has directed a mandate
towards a hunt for the development of alternative therapeutic modalities. In this context …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-biofilm efficacy of photodynamic therapy
by conjugating a photosensitizer (TBO) with silver nanoparticles (AgNP). Streptococcus …

Abstract Background Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans can colonize the teeth,
the oral cavity as biofilm and can cause oral infections. Thus, strategies to prevent and …

Multidrug resistant (MDR) bacterial infections have become a severe threat to the community
health due to a progressive rise in antibiotic resistance. Nanoparticle-based photodynamic …

Photoinduced antibacterial gold nanoparticles were developed as an alternative for the
treatment of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Thanks to the amoxicillin coating, they possess high …

Diabetic foot infection caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria, is becoming serious problem.
Moreover, polymicrobial biofilms contribute significantly to the persistent infections. In the …

Antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) utilizes reactive oxygen species such as singlet
oxygen (1O2) and free radicals via photosensitizers, which are light and light-sensitive …
