Bacterial infections and antibiotic resistance are global health problems, current treatments for bacterial still rely on the use of antibiotics. Phototherapy based a photosensitizer has high efficiency, broad spectrum, strong selectivity, does not easily induce drug resistance, is expected to become an effective strategy treatment infections, particularly drug-resistant infections. This article reviews antimicrobial strategies phototherapy photosensitizers, including photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal (PTT), their combination. These methods have significant application potential in combating multi-drug-resistant biofilm providing alternative traditional antibiotics chemical antibacterial agents.
