Death by light: Nanoparticles as agents for the photodynamic killing of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (PhysOrg)
(PhysOrg.com) — The increasing antibiotic resistance of bacteria is a serious problem of our time. Hospital germs in particular have developed strains against which practically every current antibiotic is ineffective. In the battle against resistant microbes, a team at the University of Münster (Germany) is now pursuing a new approach involving photodynamic therapy, which... »
