Article Synopsis
- Hypericin shows potential as a photosensitizer in photodynamic therapy (PDT) for treating various strains of Candida, demonstrating a strong antifungal effect.
- Higher concentrations of hypericin and light doses are required to achieve maximum fungicidal effectiveness, specifically for complete eradication of Candida species.
- When used properly, hypericin PDT can minimize damage to skin cells, making it a promising treatment option, particularly for Candida albicans.
Background: A large and unsuspected tuberculosis outbreak involving 18.7% of the total of the tuberculosis cases studied, was detected in a population-based molecular epidemiological study performed in Zaragoza (Spain) from 2001 to 2004.
Methods: The Mycobacterium tuberculosis drug-susceptible strain, named MTZ strain, was genetically characterized by IS6110-RFLP, Spoligotyping and by MIRU-VNTR typing and the genetic patterns obtained were compared with those included in international databases.
