Diacetylcurcumin: a new photosensitizer for antimicrobial photodynamic therapy in biofilms.

This study evaluated the effect of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) on using diacetylcurcumin (DAC) and verified DAC toxicity. , biofilms were exposed to curcumin (CUR) and DAC and were light-irradiated. Biofilms were collected, plated and incubated for colony counts.
