ABSTRACT

Diabetic foot ulcers (UPD) have high morbidity and mortality and high healthcare costs. The healing of these lesions is often delayed by microbial colonization, which can lead to consequences such as amputation. Recent studies propose the use of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (TFA) in UPDs. This therapy is based on photosensitizing molecules (phenothiazinium, indocyanine green, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) that generate reactive oxygen species capable of inducing the destruction of target cells when irradiated with light of an appropriate wavelength, to eradicate pathogenic microorganisms.
