Phage-Enhanced Phototherapy for Severe Infections of the Skin : Development of photoactive metal-based systems for targeted antibacterial phototherapy

Background Severe bacterial skin infections, particularly those involving multidrug-resistant bacteria, can rapidly progress to sepsis and remain challenging to treat. The PEPSIS project explores an innovative therapeutic strategy combining bacteriophages and phototherapy, with the aim of selectively targeting bacterial pathogens and inactivating them through light activation.
