  Título: “Nanoparticle-Based Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy”

  Resumo: The global concern about antibiotic resistance has created a strong demand for new methods of therapy.

  Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (APDT) particularly presents mechanisms that lead to the lack of microbial resistance development as well as promising results against infections colonized by drug-resistant pathogens. APDT represents a therapeutic modality that involves the combination of a photosensitizing drug (PS) with luminous radiation of appropriate wavelength and molecular oxygen to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can inactivate microbial cells by oxidative stress.

  Given the remarkable extensiveness of APDT applications, the significant promise of this therapeutic approach has a potential to revolutionize health care. In this talk we will discuss recent advances in this area.
