Photoinduced Membrane Damage of E. coli and S. aureus by the Photosensitizer-Antimicrobial Peptide Conjugate Eosin-(KLAKLAK)(2)

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Upon irradiation with visible light, the photosensitizer-peptide conjugate eosin-(KLAKLAK)(2) kills a broad spectrum of bacteria without damaging human cells. Eosin-(KLAKLAK)(2) therefore represents an interesting lead compound for the treatment of local infection by photodyna...
