Abstract excerpt
Photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) is a multi-target method to inactivate pathogenic microorganisms by exciting a photosensitizer (PS) with visible light of appropriate wavelength in the presence of molecular oxygen (3O2). There are two major pathways by which reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced. In type I (TI)-reactions, radicals such as superoxide (O2˙-) and hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) are...
