The mechanisms of bacterial inactivation via MB-APDT avoid drug resistance (Conference Presentation)

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (APDT) is trending as a powerful therapeutic platform to minimize the negative impacts of microbial drug resistance. The mechanisms of action of APDT are imposed as a generalized oxidation of all cellular structures. Therefore, is assumed that the development of resistance to APDT is very unlikely to occur due to its multitarget oxidative effects. Even though the instant effects of APDT may be interesting to...
