Comparison of photoinactivation of T. rubrum by new methylene blue (NMB) and indocyanine green (EmunDo®)

The study provides evidence regarding satisfactory photodynamic inactivation of T. rubrum with EmunDo® or NMB as photosensitizers. Irradiation by only red laser source was found superior to only infra-red laser source. Dark toxicity of EmunDo® was more successful than new methylene blue dye.
