The Antimicrobial Photoinactivation Effect on <i>Escherichia coli</i> through the Action of Inverted Cationic Porphyrin–Cyclodextrin Conjugates

Photodynamic action has been used for diverse biomedical applications, such as treating a broad range of bacterial infections. Based on the combination of light, dioxygen, and photosensitizer (PS), the photodynamic inactivation (PDI) approach led to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and...
