Antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation (APDI) using six different phenothiazinium dyes is mediated by singlet oxygen (quenched by azide) and hydroxyl radicals (potentiated by azide) depending on Gram-classification of the bacteria and whether the dye is washed from the cells.

Water-dispersible glycosylated poly(2,5′-thienylene)porphyrin-based nanoparticles have the ability to generate singlet oxygen in high yields and exhibit light-triggered antibacterial activity against Gram negative bacteria, E. coli as well as Gram positive bacteria, B. subtilis.

ABSTRACTAntimicrobial photodynamic inactivation (PDI) was shown to be a promising treatment modality for microbial infections. This study explores the effect of chitosan, a polycationic biopolymer, in increasing the PDI efficacy against Gram-positive bacteria, includingStaphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis,Streptococcus pyogenes, and methicillin-resistantS. aureus(MRSA), as well as the Gram-negative bacteriaPseudomonas aeruginosaandAcinetobacter baumannii. Chitosan at <0.1% was included in the antibacterial process either by coincubation with hematoporphyrin (Hp) and subjection to light exposure to induce the PDI effect or by addition after PDI and further incubation for 30 min. Under conditions in which Hp-PDI killed the microbe on a 2- to 4-log scale, treatment with chitosan at concentrations of as low as 0.025% for a further 30 min completely eradicated the bacteria (which were originally at ∼108CFU/ml). Similar results were also found with toluidine blue O (TBO)-mediated PDI in planktonic and biofilm cells. However, without PDI treatment, chitosan alone did not exert significant antimicrobial activity with 30 min of incubation, suggesting that the potentiated effect of chitosan worked after the bacterial damage induced by PDI. Further studies indicated that the potentiated PDI effect of chitosan was related to the level of PDI damage and the deacetylation level of the chitosan. These results indicate that the combination of PDI and chitosan is quite promising for eradicating microbial infections.

Antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation using different photosensitizers of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria can be potentiated up to one million times by addition of sodium nitrite. The mechanism is proposed to involve formation of peroxynitrate.
