Description

Antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation (aPDI) offers a promising alternative to combat drug-resistant bacteria. This study explores the potential of lapachol, a natural naphthoquinone derived from Tabebuia avellanedae, as a photosensitizer (PS) for aPDI. Lapachol’s photosensitizing properties were evaluated using Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli strains under blue LED light (450 nm).
