title: Dark interaction of haematoporphyrin and proflavine with Salmonella dublin cells.
abstract: The influence of haematoporphyrin and proflavine on the virulence, survivability, respiratory activity and cell wall ultrastructure of Salmonella dublin cells was studied. There was a decrease in all biological properties investigated, especially when haematoporphyrin was used for dark incubation in comparison with proflavine. The possible clinical use of negatively charged photosensitizers is discussed.
