Joana M.D. Calmeiro,Cristina J. Dias,Catarina I. V. Ramos,Adelaide Almeida,João P. C. Tomé,Maria A. F. Faustino,Leandro M. O. Lourenço +6 more
TL;DR: The obtained results of this study demonstrate high PDI efficiency of the zinc(II) metallated Chl 1b, reaching the detection limit of the bioluminescent method in 45 min of irradiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pyrazole-pyridinium porphyrins and chlorins as powerful photosensitizers for photoinactivation of planktonic and biofilm forms of E. coli
Isabela Santos,Sara R.D. Gamelas,Cátia Vieira,Maria A. F. Faustino,João P. C. Tomé,Adelaide Almeida,Ana C. Gomes,Leandro M. O. Lourenço +7 more
TL;DR: The obtained results demonstrate that Por 1a and Chl 2a exhibit high aPDT efficacy towards planktonic and biofilm forms of E. coli, which is a clear advantage for a clinical application.
