Sub-lethal photodynamic inactivation renders Staphylococcus aureus susceptible to silver nanoparticles
Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is a common etiological factor in infections of burns and other chronic wounds. The development of an effective and fast-acting treatment would be enormously beneficial and is highly desired. We focused on testing the bactericidal efficacy of photoinactivation using a known photosensitizer (
