Uptake pathways of anionic and cationic photosensitizers into bacteria
Open accessAbstract
The effect of divalent cations (calcium and magnesium) and a permeabilizing agent (EDTA) on the uptake of a cationic photosensitizer (PS), methylene blue (MB), and two anionic PSs, rose bengal (RB) and indocyanine green (ICG), by Gram-positive Enterococcus faecalis and Gram-negative Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans was examined. The possible roles of multidrug efflux pumps and protein transporters in photosensitizer uptake were assessed in E. faecalis cells by studies using an efflux pumpinhibitor (verapamil) and trypsin treatment respectively. Divalent cations enhanced the uptake and photodynamic inactivation potential of both RB and ICG in E. faecalis and A. actinomycetemcomitans , while they decreased the uptake and bacterial killing by MB. Verapamil increased the uptake of RB (possibly due to efflux pump inhibition), whereas trypsin treatment resulted in significant decrease in RB and ICG uptake. The results suggested that the uptake of anionic PSs by bacterial cells may be mediated through a combination of electrostatic charge interaction and by protein transporters, while the uptake of cationic PSs, as previously reported, is mediated by electrostatic interactions and self promoted uptake pathways.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
