Iron-blocking antibacterial therapy with cationic heme-mimetic gallium porphyrin photosensitizer for combating antibiotic resistance and enhancing photodynamic antibacterial activity

Hao Zhang et al.

Summary: Iron-blocking antibacterial therapy (IBAT) is a potential non-drug-resistant antibacterial strategy that can rapidly kill various strains of bacteria, including multidrug-resistant strains. Unlike antibiotics, bacteria find it hard to develop resistance to this treatment. Additionally, it can be further enhanced by synergistic photodynamic therapy.

The importance of understanding the infectious microenvironment

Thomas Bjarnsholt et al.

Summary: Standard doses of antibiotics are not effective in treating chronic soft tissue and bone infections. Taking the infectious microenvironment into account could improve the treatment as the microenvironment can cause bacteria to become resistant to antibiotics. Susceptibility testing should be conducted in conditions that resemble the actual infectious microenvironments to guide antibiotic recommendations.

Potentiating hypoxic microenvironment for antibiotic activation by photodynamic therapy to combat bacterial biofilm infections

Weijun Xiu et al.

Summary: Traditional antibiotic treatment is not very effective against bacteria in biofilms due to their unique metabolic conditions. This study explores the use of photodynamic therapy to eliminate methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus biofilms and enhance the hypoxic microenvironment, which induces anaerobic metabolism and activates the antibacterial activity of metronidazole. Additionally, the activated chemotherapy can promote the repair of biofilm-infected wounds by polarizing macrophages to a specific phenotype.
