Photodynamic Inactivation of Endopathogenic Microbiota Using Curcumin- mediated Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy

Root canal disinfection is one of the main factors governing success of endodontic therapy. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is presented as a promising antimicrobial therapy that can eliminate microbiota present in infected root canal systems. In this study, a series of experiments investigated the effects of aPDT on cell viability and biofilm degradation ability of endopathogenic mic...

Resistance in antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation of bacteria.

Antibiotics have increasingly lost their impact to kill bacteria efficiently during the last 10 years. The emergence and dissemination of superbugs with resistance to multiple antibiotic classes have occurred among Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains including Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacter...

Antimicrobial gold nanorods with dual-modality photodynamic inactivation and hyperthermia.

Gold nanorods conjugated with a hydrophilic photosensitizer, toluidine blue O, acted as dual-function agents in photodynamic inactivation and hyperthermia against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Advances Towards Synthetic Machines at the Molecular and Nanoscale Level

The fabrication of increasingly smaller machines to the nanometer scale can be achieved by either a "top-down" or "bottom-up" approach. While the former is reaching its limits of resolution, the latter is showing promise for the assembly of molecular components, in a comparable approach to natural systems, to produce functioning ensembles in a controlled and predetermined manner. In this review...
