Photoinactivation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm by Dicationic Diaryl-Porphyrin

Viviana Teresa Orlandi et al.

Summary: Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is gaining attention as a promising tool for treating microbial infections and sanitizing environments. A study on a panel of photosensitizers found that dicationic diaryl-porphyrins show potential in efficiently photoinactivating Pseudomonas aeruginosa, including inhibiting biofilm formation. These findings suggest the potential applicability of dicationic diaryl-porphyrins in different fields for combating difficult-to-treat microbes like P. aeruginosa.
