Dharmaratne P, Wang B, Wong R, Chan B, Lau K, Ke M, et al.
Emerg Microbes Infect . 2020 Jul; 9(1):1628-1637. PMID: 32619386
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is an innovative approach to combat multi-drug resistant bacteria. It is known that cationic Zn(II) phthalocyanines (ZnPc) are effective in mediating aPDT against methicillin-resistant (MRSA). Here...
