Lethal photosensitization of wound-associated microbes using indocyanine green and near-infrared light.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Over the last years oleaginous yeasts have been studied for several energetic, oleochemical, medical and pharmaceutical purposes. However, only a small number of yeasts are known and have been deeply exploited. The search for new isolates with high oleaginous capacity becomes imperative, as well as the use o...
