In this presentation, we will show how to use photodynamic action to reverse bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Using different types of resistant bacteria, the use of a low dose of light and a photosensitizer allows for reversing the resistance making the bacteria and its future generations again susceptible to antibiotics. In addition to works in this area, we will show several applications of photodynamic action in the control of infections such as Pneumonia, and pharyngotonsillitis, as well as avoiding infection during the process of mechanical ventilation.
