Abstract
. Furthermore, the strategy of combining bacteriophages and photosensitizers is employed to eradicate bacterial biofilms for the first time, and it shows the excellent biofilm ablation effect as expected. Thus, APNB has huge potential in fighting against multidrug-resistant bacteria and biofilm ablation in practice.
