Photodynamic inactivation increases cell death rate on persistent Staphylococcus aureus
Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.Persistent bacteria have the ability to survive extended periods of antibiotic stress by entering a metabolically dormant state. This study investigated persistence formation in two S. aureus strains and evaluated the effects of PDI using curcumin. Post‐PDI time‐kill assays conducted after metabolic recovery showed a higher rate of bacterial death ...
