Zerumbone combined with antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation reduces growth of Candida albicans biofilms and modulates virulence gene expression.
Candida albicans biofilms represent a clinical challenge due to their protective extracellular matrix and the resistance to conventional antifungals. This study investigates the strategy of combining the phytochemical zerumbone (ZER) with antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation (aPDI) mediated by Photodithazine® (PDZ)...
