In vitro photodynamic inactivation of Candida albicans by phenothiazine dye (new methylene blue) and lndocyanine green (EmunDo (R))

摘要

Background: The application of a new generation of photosensitizers to increase the efficacy of antifungal photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is an important aspect of PDT. Thus, this in vitro study is aimed to evaluate the antifungal efficacy of the photo-elimination of Candida albicans with photothermal and antifungal photodynamic therapy.
