Determination of the antibacterial efficacy of a new porphyrin-based photosensitizer against MRSA ex vivo
Abstract
Following extensive in vitro screening of new photosensitizers the purpose of the present study was to examine penetration as well as antibacterial efficacy of a lead photosensitizer against MRSA using an ex vivo porcine skin model. Two different applications were performed: (i) preincubation of bacteria in solution with a
