Photodynamic Inactivation Of Rubella Virus [PDF]
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1972 Summary Rubella virus possesses inherent photosensitivity and slowly loses infectivity when exposed to light. Sensitisation with proflavine markedly increases the rate of photoinactivation, and loss of infectivity, without loss of haemagglutinin activity, is most readily achieved at pH 9·0.

Advances in Inorganic Chemistry, 2022 Although the whole world is currently observing the global battle against COVID-19, it should not be underestimated that in the next 30 years, approximately 10 million people per year could be exposed to infections caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria.

Factors Determining the Susceptibility of Bacteria to Antibacterial Photodynamic Inactivation
Frontiers in Medicine, 2021 Photodynamic inactivation of microorganisms (aPDI) is an excellent method to destroy antibiotic-resistant microbial isolates. The use of an exogenous photosensitizer or irradiation of microbial cells already equipped with endogenous photosensitizers ...

Photodynamic Therapy in the Inactivation of Microorganisms [PDF]
Antibiotics, 2020 The growing emergence of microbial resistance to conventional antimicrobials, due their dissemination in the environment, and excessive or inadequate prescriptions, associated with the globalization of pathogenic microorganisms’ transmission, make the discovery of new effective therapies to combat infection of extreme urgency [...]

Photosensitizing proteins for antibacterial photodynamic inactivation [PDF]
Translational Biophotonics, 2020 AbstractWe review recent applications of water‐soluble proteins as carriers for photosensitizing molecules in antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT). The low water solubility of photosensitizers and their tendency to aggregate often impair their photophysics, thus resulting in lower bioavailability of the compounds.

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

Emerging trends in the photodynamic inactivation (PDI) applied to the food decontamination.
Food Research International, 2021 The food and drink manufacturing industry is constantly seeking for alternative sanitation and disinfection systems that may achieve the same antimicrobial efficiency of conventional chemical sanitisers and at the same time be convenient in terms of ...
