Antibacterial photodynamic therapy in the treatment of skin infections: article by dr hab. Krzysztofa Pawlika and mgr inż. Marty Piksy published in Chemical Society Reviews

Antibacterial photodynamic therapy, which is based on the local generation of reactive oxygen by excitation of the photosensitizer with light, is a promising method of combating drug-resistant pathogens in skin infections. The journal Chemical Society Reviews (200 points MEiN, IF 60,615) published the work of mgr inż. Marty Piksy (Laboratory of Molecular Biology of Microorganisms), dr. hab. Krzysztof Pawlik (Laboratory of Instrumental Analysis and Preparation) and co-workers from the University of St. Andrews and the Wrocław University of Technology, which reviewed the achievements to date in the development of this method of treatment. Mgr inż. Marta Piksa conducts research in her doctorate on the molecular mechanisms of action of photodynamic therapy in combating pathogens.
