Effect of different wavelengths and dyes on Candida albicans: In vivo study using Galleria mellonella as an experimental model

摘要

Background: Studies on photodynamic inactivation against microorganisms had a great development in recent years. The aim of this work was to test the application of different laser wavelengths with or without different photosensitizing dyes on Candida albicans cells in vitro and in photodynamic therapy protocols in vivo in larvae of Galleria mellonella.
