In aPDT experiments using different photosensitizer concentrations and different energy densities, the reduction in bacterial survival reached to > 6 log10 values. aPDT carried out with CPDs at concentrations below the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values has the potential to display a strong antimicrobial activity against the MDR A. baumannii clinical isolate. © 2018 IEEE.tr10.1109/TIPTEKNO.2018.8596962info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAcinetobacter baumanniiantimicrobial photodynamic therapymultiple drug resistanceporphyrinConference ObjectN/A
