Towards microbe-targeted photosensitizers: Synthesis, characterization and in vitro photodynamic inactivation of the tuberculosis model pathogen M. smegmatis by porphyrin-peptide conjugates
Journal of Porphyrins and Phthalocyanines, 23(11n12), 1414–1439.
author keywords: antimicrobial; Mycobacterium smegmatis; peptide; photodynamic inactivation; porphyrin; tuberculosis
TL;DR:
The ability of PPCs to maintain their antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation efficacy when possessing a short cationic peptides for enabling the potential targeting of pathogens in vivo is demonstrated.

Highly efficient in vitro photodynamic inactivation of Mycobacterium smegmatis
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 64(4), 782–785.
Contributors: n & R. Ghiladi n
author keywords: multidrug resistant; TB; photosensitizers
MeSH headings : Colony Count, Microbial; Light; Microbial Viability / radiation effects; Mycobacterium smegmatis / radiation effects; Photosensitizing Agents / pharmacology
TL;DR:
The best results demonstrate that PDI of M. smegmatis can achieve a noteworthy 5-6 log unit reduction in cfu (99.999% + viable cell eradication) when cationic PSs are employed in the nanomolar concentration range.
