摘要：

Phenothiazinium-based molecules exhibit phototoxicity against a broad range of bacteria. In general, these photosensitizers use several cellular uptake pathways, coupled to type II mechanisms of photo-oxidation, to inflict bacterial damage. These molecules show potential to act as novel alternatives to conventional antibiotics.
