2009 journal article

Highly efficient in vitro photodynamic inactivation of Mycobacterium smegmatis

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 64(4), 782–785.

By: E. Feese n & R. Ghiladi n 

Contributors: E. Feese 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. (via Semantic Scholar)
