Evaluation of phototherapeutic antibacterial activity of LED-illuminated curcumin nanomicelles against multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae harbouring extended-spectrum β-Lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemase resistance genes.
This study evaluated the antibacterial effect of photodynamic therapy (aPDT) using nanomicelle-encapsulated curcumin photosensitizer (PS) against drug-resistant clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae and K. pneumoniae ATCC 13883™. In this study, nanomicelle curcumin prepared by the thin film hydration method, with...
