aPDI

antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation(English)

  • can treat localized infections, while it neither causes any resistance to develop in microbes, nor is affected by existing drug resistance status. The binding of the photosensitizers to the microbial cells is relatively rapid, while uptake of the cationic photosensitizers by mammalian cells is slow, thus giving good selectivity when a short drug-light interval (few minutes) is employed
