The impact of absorbed photons on antimicrobial photodynamic efficacy

Due to increasing resistance of pathogens towards standard antimicrobial procedures, alternative approaches that are capable of inactivating pathogens are necessary in support of regular modalities. In this instance, the photodynamic inactivation of bacteria (PIB) may be a promising alternative. For...
