Efficient Photodynamic Killing of Gram-Positive Bacteria by Synthetic Curcuminoids
In our previous study, we have demonstrated that curcumin can efficiently kill the anaerobic bacterium <i>Propionibacterium acnes</i> by irradiation with low-dose blue light. The curcuminoids present in natural plant turmeric mainly include curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycu...
