Impact of mucus and biofilm on antimicrobial photodynamic therapy: Evaluation using Ruthenium(II) complexes
The biofilm lifestyle of bacterial pathogens is a hallmark of chronic lung infections such as in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Bacterial adaptation to the complex conditions in CF-affected lungs and repeated antibiotherapies lead to increasingly tolerant and hard-to-treat biofilms. In the context o...
