Porphyrins have been shown to act as very efficient photosensitizing agents against a broad
number of microbial pathogens, including bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. This property has …

The skin commensal and opportunistic pathogen Staphylococcus epidermidis is an
important cause of nosocomial infections. Virulence is attributable to formation of biofilm …

In this work, the results of the application of organic expanded porphyrins in the disinfection
of water by the photodynamic inactivation (PDI) technique are presented. The …

A tetracationic meso-substituted amphiphilic porphyrin (abbreviated as C14) was
encapsulated within silica microparticles to yield a conjugate with a mean particle diameter …

Staphylococcus epidermidis is a leading cause of nosocomial infections, and its virulence is
attributable to formation of biofilm, especially on implanted devices. Photodynamic treatment …

We propose antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) as an alternative strategy to reduce
the use of antibiotics in shrimp larviculture systems. The growth of a multiple antibiotic …

Light output from bioluminescent microorganisms is a highly sensitive reporter of their
metabolic activity and therefore can be used to monitor in real time the effects of …

Novel sub-micronic photoactive polymer colloids grafted with Rose Bengal (RB)
photosensitizer were designed to promote singlet oxygen production from a supported …

The issue of biofilm formation by microorganisms in household water storage systems is a
problem that lowers the efficiency of disinfectants. Antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation …

Species of the genus Vibrio have been recognized as one of the most significant pathogens
in aquaculture farming, causing mass mortality of farmed stocks. Photodynamic …
