Antibacterial photodynamic therapy: overview of a promising approach to fight antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections
Antibacterial photodynamic therapy (APDT) has drawn increasing attention from the scientific society for its potential to effectively kill multidrug-resistant pathogenic bacteria and for its low tendency to induce drug resistance that bacteria can rapidly develop against traditional antibiotic therapy. The review summarizes the mechanism of action of APDT, the photosensitizers, the barriers of PS localization, the targets, the in vitro, in vivo, and the clinical evidence, the current development against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, the limitations, as well as some future perspectives.
Relevance for patients: A structured overview of all important aspects of APDT is provided in the context of resistant bacterial species. The information presented is relevant and accessible for scientists as well as clinicians, whose joint effort is required to ensure that this technology benefits patients in the post-antibiotic era.
