Abstract
Photodynamic damage to the cell envelope can inactivate microorganisms and may be used as a tool to combat the phenomenon of super-resistance, empowered by the indiscriminate use of antibiotics. Efficiency in microbial inactivation is dependent on the incorporation of photosensitizers (PS) into the bacterial membranes to trigger oxidation reactions under illumination. Therefore, we shall …
Modulating photochemical reactions in Escherichia coli lipid monolayers with the binding mechanisms of eosin decyl ester and toluidine blue-O photosensitizers, BP.MS
Abstract
The photodynamic inactivation of microorganisms (PDIM) has received considerable attention due to the efficiency against the super-resistance of bacteria. The technique is based on the controlled administration of a photosensitizer (FS), subsequently photoactivated for the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), responsible for the inactivation of microorganisms. It is known that the…

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been shown to be a highly efficient alternative for treating cancer tissues. It relies on the controlled administration of a photosensitizer (PS) with subsequent light activation for generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which will eventually destroy the cancer cells. PDT efficiency may depend on many factors including the incorporation of the PS into…
