Immobilized photosensitizers for antimicrobial applications [PDF]
, 2015 Photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) is a very promising alternative to conventional antibiotics for the efficient inactivation of pathogenic microorganisms; this is due to the fact that it is virtually impossible for resistant strains to ...

Inactivation of Campylobacter jejuni by exposure to high-intensity 405-nm visible light [PDF]
, 2010 Although considerable research has been carried out on a range of environmental factors that impact on the survival of Campylobacter jejuni, there is limited information on the effects of violet/blue light on this pathogen. This investigation was carried

Antimicrobial Photodynamic Inactivation and Photodynamic Therapy for Infections [PDF]
, 2010 Photodynamic therapy (PDT) was initially discovered over 100 years ago by its ability to kill microorganisms, but its use to treat infections clinically has not been much developed. However, the present relentless increase in antibiotic resistance worldwide and the emergence of strains that are resistant to all known antibiotics has stimulated research

Absence of a dose-rate effect in the transformation of C3H 10T1/2 cells by α-particles [PDF]
, 1987 The findings of Hill et al. (1984) on the greatly enhanced transformation frequencies at very low dose rates of fission neutrons induced us to perform an analogous study with -particles at comparable dose rates. Transformation frequencies were determined

Highly efficient optogenetic cell ablation in C. elegans using membrane-targeted miniSOG. [PDF]
, 2016 The genetically encoded photosensitizer miniSOG (mini Singlet Oxygen Generator) can be used to kill cells in C. elegans. miniSOG generates the reactive oxygen species (ROS) singlet oxygen after illumination with blue light.

Photodynamic inactivation of verrucae vulgares. II
Acta Dermato-Venereologica, 1977 Photodynamic inactivation therapy, consisting of a double-blind, paired comparison treatment schedule, was used in treating 56 patients for recalcitrant, symmetrical verrucae vulgares. 0.1% proflavine in 100% dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) and 0.1% neutral red in 100% DMSO were used as active dyes, and 1% picric acid in 100% DMSO and 1% color ruber in 100 ...

Halo-fluorescein for photodynamic bacteria inactivation in extremely acidic conditions
Nature Communications, 2021 Photodynamic inactivation is a common antibacterial method but often fails in extremely acidic environments (pH< 4). Here, the authors demonstrate halogenation of fluorescein for the development of a photodynamic agent which works in extremely acidic ...
