Abstract
The treatment of infected, long-term, non-healing, complicated wounds of the skin and mucosa, trophic ulcers, pressure sores and ulcers of diabetic feet represents a serious problem, especially in the case of resistant and multi-resistant pathogens. Antibacterial photodynamic therapy can be a promising method of local infected foci treatment of such diseases.This work is devoted to the study of the possibility of photodynamic inactivation (PDI) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria in the form of biofilms with the help of new polycationic photosensitizers (PSs) based on octacationic phthalocyanine and tetra- and octabacteriochlorins (ZnPcChol8, (3-PyBrE)4BCBr4 and (3-PyEPy)4BCBr8). More specifically, this work aims to clarify the role of light irradiation in PDI with the participation of new PSs, which has not been fully studied, especially with respect to the comparison of different PS types.
