Evaluation of natural and synthetic photosensitizers in visible light-mediated antimicrobial photodynamic therapy against pathogenic bacteria

This study aims to explore the antimicrobial photodynamic activity of hypericin (a naturally occurring non-toxic photosensitizer [PS]) and methylene blue (a chemical PS), which in combination with light can generate reactive oxygen species, thus effectively destroying the bacterial cells.

Enhancing antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation through natural alkaloid-antiseptic synergy against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

HA and PM substantially enhanced the antibacterial performance of OCT and PHMB under photodynamic activation, enabling complete S. aureus inactivation, and highlight PS-antiseptic combinations as a promising non-antibiotic strategy for chronic wound management while reducing the required PS and antiseptic concentration...

Photodynamic antimicrobial efficacy and mode of action of polypyridyl-based Ru(II) complexes against multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Ruthenium-based photosensitisers appear to act predominantly through singlet oxygen-mediated oxidative stress, enhancing cefotaxime efficacy while exhibiting low cytotoxicity, and therefore represent promising adjunct therapies against MDR K. pneumoniae.

Copper(i) photosensitisers for antimicrobial photodynamic therapy: from solution studies to silica-immobilised composite materials

It is demonstrated that small ligand modifications can cause strongly differentiated aPDT-relevant behaviour and that silica-immobilised Cu(i) photosensitisers offer a promising option for light-mediated surface disinfection/sanitation applications.
