Spectral characteristics of polymethine dye in model bacterial environments under photoirradiation

Abstract

The problem of drug resistance of microorganisms to the action of a wide range of antibiotics is very relevant for modern medicine. This stimulates the development of research in the direction of finding alternative therapeutic methods. One of the promising methods that can speed up treatment is photodynamic antibacterial therapy (PDAT). This method involves the use of drugs or photosensitizers in combination with the effects of laser radiation sources.
