Consecutive treatments with photodynamic therapy and nystatin altered the expression of virulence and ergosterol biosynthesis genes of a fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans in vivo
(2021-03-01)
This investigation assessed the effect of five consecutive daily topical treatments of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT), nystatin (NYS), and an association of treatments on a fluconazole-resistant strain of Candida ...
BODIPYs in antitumoral and antimicrobial photodynamic therapy: An integrating review
(Elsevier Science, 2019-09)
Nowadays, both cancer and infections caused by antibiotic resistant microorganisms are problems that affect the entire planet. Phototherapy (namely photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photodynamic inactivation (PDI) of ...
Effectiveness of Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy on Staphylococcus aureus using Phenothiazinium Dye with Red Laser

Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (APDT) Action Based on Nanostructured Photosensitizers
(2017-01-01)
Important features are linked to the concept of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (APDT). One approach is the need of effective strategies to overcome bacterial resistance to antibiotics. In this context, APDT has emerged ...
Optimization of Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy in Biofilms by Inhibiting Efflux Pump
(2017-07-01)
Background: One of the main mechanisms of microbial resistance is given by efflux pumps, which reduce the effectiveness of antimicrobials by decreasing their intracellular concentration. Objective and methods: Considering ...
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy against metronidazole-resistant dental plaque bactéria
(2020-08-01)
The antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has stood out as an alternative and promising method of disinfection and has been exploited for the treatment of oral bacteria. In this study, we evaluate in vitro the action ...
Synergistic antimicrobial effect of photodynamic therapy and ciprofloxacin
(2016-05-01)
The occurrence of a variety of pathogens resistant to current antibiotics remains the major problem in medical care, especially when bacterial infections are established as biofilms. In this study, we propose the use of ...
Photodynamic therapy mediated by chlorin-type photosensitizers against Streptococcus mutans biofilms
(2018-12-01)
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) can be used for the control of oral pathogens and different photosensitizers (PS) have been investigated. This study evaluated the efficacy of PDT against Streptococcus mutans biofilms using two ...
