Abstract
The fungus Candida albicans commonly causes mucosal and cutaneous infections in patients with impaired immunity. We investigated the effectiveness of the photosensitizer meso‐tetra (N‐methyl‐4‐pyridyl) porphine tetra tosylate (TMP‐1363) in the photodynamic treatment (PDT) of C. albicans infection in vitro and its selectivity in an animal model.
