- Abstract
Antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation (PDI) is a promising therapeutic modality for the treatment of local infections. To increase the efficacy of PDI, chlorine e6 (Ce6) was encapsulated in cationic CTAB-liposomes composed of various ratios of dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and the cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB). The PDI efficacy of the liposomal-Ce6 was assessed in vitro against susceptible and drug-resistant clinical isolates of Candida albicans (C. albicans) as well as in infected burn wounds.
