| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed a method for treating Staphylococcus aureus bacteria by photosensitizer-antibody conjugates against peptidoglycan, the major component of the cell wall of the Gram-positive bacteria, and near-infrared light. Specific binding of photosensitizer-antibody conjugates to the cell wall led to kill the cells specifically upon near-infrared light irradiation in methicillin-susceptible, methicillin-resistant and vancomycin intermediate-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus in vitro. Further studies are warranted for future clinical translation.
