Advanced applications of cationic photosensitizer DHPC in photodynamic eradication of drug-resistant bacteria
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is increasingly viewed as a reliable and effective treatment for infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. However, the limited uptake of photosensitizers (PS) by bacteria remains a major challenge. Cationization enables PS to accumulate around bacterial cells, thereby promoting the...
