Potentiating Hypoxic Microenvironment for Antibiotic Activation by Photodynamic Therapy to Combat Bacterial Biofilm Infections

Biofilm is complex self-secreted matrix of bacteria composing polysaccharides, extracellular DNAs, and proteins that have adhered to surfaces, to create a biofilm. Biofilms enable the infection to persist, prevent the absorption of antimicrobials, and encourage drug resistance in bacteria, making it challenging to treat bacterial infections. The bacteria are immune…
