Application of Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy for Inactivation of Acinetobacter baumannii Biofilms

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Acinetobacter baumannii is a dangerous hospital pathogen primarily due to its ability to form biofilms on different abiotic and biotic surfaces. The present study investigated the effect of riboflavin- and chlorophyllin-based antimicrobial photodynamic ...

ROS generating BODIPY loaded nanoparticles for photodynamic eradication of biofilms

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Bacterial biofilms can pose a serious health risk to humans and are less susceptible to antibiotics and disinfection than planktonic bacteria. Here, a novel method for biofilm eradication based on antimicrobial photodynamic therapy utilizing a ...

Efficacy of a single antimicrobial photodynamic therapy session as an adjunct to non-surgical periodontal therapy on clinical outcomes for periodontitis patients. A systematic review

Journal of Baghdad College of Dentistry, 2023
Background: periodontitis is a multifactorial and multi-etiological disease associated with destructive events to the periodontium. Non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) is considered an efficient, gold-standard approach to treat this disease; however,

Physical and mathematical modeling of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy

Journal of Biomedical Optics, 2014
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is a promising method to treat local bacterial infections. The therapy is painless and does not cause bacterial resistances. However, there are gaps in understanding the dynamics of the processes, especially in periodontal treatment.
