Staphylococci, like Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis, are common colonizers of
the human microbiota. While being harmless in many cases, many virulence factors result in …

Photodynamic therapy is witnessing a revival of its origins as a response to the rise of multi-
drug resistant infections and the shortage of new classes of antibiotics. Photodynamic …

Phthalocyanine derivatives have been proposed as photosensitizers for the treatment of
several microbial infections. In this review, the progress in the structures of phthalocyanines …

In this work, we report the antimicrobial photoinactivation using tetra-cationic porphyrins with
peripheral palladium (II) complexes against bacterial strains. Two different isomeric Pd (II) …

We report the photoinactivation evaluation of Ag (II) porphyrins (cationic AgTMeP and
anionic AgTPPS) in the antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) of rapidly growing …

A photostable and photodynamic antimicrobial surface was successfully obtained and
applied to photoinactivate microorganisms. This approach was based on the synthesis of a …

Moraxella catarrhalis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and nontypeable Haemophilus
influenzae (NTHi) are ubiquitous upper respiratory opportunistic pathogens. Together, these …

To improve bacterial photodynamic inactivation (PDI), this work analyzes the photodynamic
effect caused by the combination of photosensitizers (PSs) on two bacterial models and …

In nature, microorganisms can form highly structured complexes designed as biofilms, that
cause severe and chronic infectious in humans. The formation of biofilms provides microbes …

Bacterial biofilms are an alarming health concern because of their capacities to endure
antimicrobials, have safeguard systems, and other outer burdens; accordingly, it adds to …
