Abstract
The current report indicates that E. faecalis cells can hydrolyze the RB-Ac compound to produce active RB. The use of RB-Ac did not appear to allow cytoplasmic internalization of the RB produced, which rather incorporated the membrane bilayers of E. faecalis. The use of RB-Ac did not provide additional advantages over RB in terms of PS localization. Nonetheless, sufficient RB was produced and incorporated into the membranes of bacteria to elicit effective aPDT.
