In vitro Evaluation of Photodynamic Effects Against Biofilms of Dermatophytes Involved in Onychomycosis
7 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
Onychomycosis with dermatophytoma is the one of the most recalcitrant onychopathic conditions. The existence of fungal biofilms characterized as sessile microbial communities surrounded by highly compacted extracellular polymeric substances is considered to render dermatophytoma remarkably resistant to standard antimicrobial agents. Although antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has been found capable of...
