Chitosan enhances the antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation mediated by Photoditazine® against Streptococcus mutans
(2020-12-01)
Chitosan (CS), a biopolymer with intrinsic antimicrobial activity, can increase antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation (aPDI). The aim of this study was to evaluate the capacity of CS to potentiate the efficacy of ...
Antimicrobial sonodynamic and photodynamic therapies against Candida albicans
(2018-04-21)
Candida albicans biofilms exhibit unique characteristics and are highly resistant to antifungal agents. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is an alternative treatment limited to treating superficial infections due ...
Successive applications of Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy effects the susceptibility of Candida albicans grown in medium with or without fluconazole
(2020-12-01)
Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT) was introduced as a therapy due to resistance that microorganisms have developed to conventional drugs. The study aimed to evaluate the potential of successive applications of aPDT ...
Photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy for prevention and treatment of dental caries: a critical review
(2013)
Introduction: Photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy studies regarding dental caries have been present more frequently in the literature. However, photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy depends on the adjustment of ...
Curcumin-mediated Photodynamic Therapy for the treatment of oral infections—A review
(2018-03-01)
Background: Recent evidences show the promising applications of Curcumin (CUR) against different diseases, including some of the main oral pathologies. The objective of this review paper was to catalog articles that ...
Photosensitization With Supramolecular Arrays for Enhanced Antimicrobial Photodynamic Treatments
(Frontiers Media, 2021-07)
Microbial infections represent a silent threat to health that has worsened in recent decades due to microbial resistance to multiple drugs, preventing the fight against infectious diseases. Therefore, the current postantibiotic ...
Rat tissue reaction and cytokine production induced by antimicrobial photodynamic therapy
(2017-06-01)
Background The antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) inactivates the target cell via reactions among the photosensitizer (PS), Laser or Led and O2. The aim of this study was to evaluate the tissue reaction and cytokine ...
Action of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy on heterotypic biofilm: Candida albicans and Bacillus atrophaeus
(2016-05-01)
The increase in survival and resistance of microorganisms organized in biofilms demonstrates the need for new studies to develop therapies able to break this barrier, such as photodynamic therapy, which is characterized ...
Exploring the Galleria mellonella model to study antifungal photodynamic therapy
(2019-09-01)
Background: Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT)shows antimicrobial activity on yeast of the genus Candida. In aPDT, the depth at which the light penetrates the tissue is extremely important for the elaboration of the ...
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy against pathogenic bacterial suspensions and biofilms using chloro-aluminum phthalocyanine encapsulated in nanoemulsions
(2013)
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy represents an alternative method of killing resistant pathogens. Efforts have been made to develop delivery systems for hydrophobic drugs to improve the photokilling. This study evaluated ...
