Bacterial biofilms are present in various environments, including those of medical importance. They hinder the action of antimicrobials, making members of this community more resistant. The microorganisms usually isolated from periodontal disease samples are known for their ability to form biofilms, which makes their treatment difficult. The main components of the polymeric extracellular …
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been used against bacterial, fungal and viral infections and recently demonstrated that there is no development of resistance by microorganisms. PDT consists of the activation of a photosensitizer (non-toxic dye) by light in an adequate wavelength, where the generation of reactive oxygen species (type I reaction) or energy transfer to the oxygen will lead to…
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), infections by resistant bacteria affect more than 2 million people, causing more than 20,000 deaths per year in the United States and Europe. Bacterial resistance has grown over the years, however, new antibiotics development rate has declined over the past three decades, with only one new breakthrough therapeutic class since the 1980s. T…
Photodynamic therapy has been advocated as an alternative to antimicrobial agents to suppress subgingival species and to treat periodontitis. Bacteria located within dense biofilms, such as those encountered in dental plaque, have been found to be relatively resistant to antimicrobial therapy. In the present study, we will investigate the ability of photodynamic therapy to reduce the numb…

The journalistic research proposal aims to present Photodynamic Therapy as an effective alternative to the indiscriminate use of antibiotics in the treatment of wound infections. The proposal seeks to increase the population's awareness of this technique, highlighting its benefits compared to conventional methods, and will be disseminated through social media, such as Instagram, with easy…
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (PDTa) is an efficient alternative in the treatment of bacterial infections for presenting several advantages, such as being a non-invasive method, easy laboratory application, and painless protocols. This type of therapy has gained prominence in various health sectors such as dermatology, oncology, gynecology, and urology, and recently it has been stud…
In the last few decades, the incidence of fungal infections has increased significantly, contributing to high levels of morbidity and mortality. Of the Candida species related to these infections, we highlight C. krusei and C. glabrata, which have intrinsic resistance to fluconazole and are associated with high mortality in patients with fungemia. In view of the difficulties encountered i…
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) has been shown to be very effective for cancer treatment and antimicrobial therapy, as well as being a non-invasive treatment. In the last decades, studies have been conducted using PDT as monotherapy and also as combined therapy, aiming for optimization of bacterial reduction.It is known that the resistance of microorganisms against antibiotics has increased an…

Biofilms have become a major topic of study in the past two decades. They can be found in virtually any moist biotic or abiotic surface, and are the basis of several human diseases. The greater resistance to antibiotics observed in biofilms relies mostly on the protection of bacteria by the self-produced extracellular polymeric matrix, which possibly binds to antimicrobial agents impairin…
