Halo-fluorescein for photodynamic bacteria inactivation in extremely acidic conditions

open access: yesNature 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 ...

Ultra-efficient antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation system based on blue light and octyl gallate for ablation of planktonic bacteria and biofilms of Pseudomonas fluorescens.

open access: yesFood Chemistry, 2021
Pseudomonas fluorescens is a Gram-negative spoilage bacterium and dense biofilm producer, causing food spoilage and persistent contamination. Here, we report an ultra-efficient photodynamic inactivation (PDI) system based on blue light (BL) and octyl ...

Photodynamic inactivation of verrucae vulgares. II

open access: yesActa 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 ...

Superoxide dismutase is upregulated in Staphylococcus aureus following protoporphyrin-mediated photodynamic inactivation and does not directly influence the response to photodynamic treatment

open access: yesBMC Microbiology, 2010
Background Staphylococcus aureus, a major human pathogen causes a wide range of disease syndromes. The most dangerous are methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains, resistant not only to all β-lactam antibiotics but also to other antimicrobials.
