Photodynamic Inactivation of <i>Legionella pneumophila</i> Biofilm Formation by Cationic Tetra- and Tripyridylporphyrins in Waters of Different Hardness

Photodynamic Inactivation of <i>Legionella pneumophila</i> Biofilm Formation by Cationic Tetra- and Tripyridylporphyrins in Waters of Different Hardness

The bacterium <i>Legionella pneumophila</i> is still one of the probable causes of waterborne diseases, causing serious respiratory illnesses. In the aquatic systems, <i>L. pneumophila</i> exists inside free-living amoebae or can form biofilms. Currently developed disinfectio...
