Chlorhexidine combined with curcumin-mediated photodynamic treatment effectively inhibits biofilm formation by clinical Candida isolates from the oral cavity

This study evaluated the efficacy of chlorhexidine (CHX) in combination with curcumin-mediated photodynamic therapy (CUR-PDT) against clinical Candida spp. isolates. Seven strains were analyzed, including Candida albicans (Ca2, Ca4, CaATCC 10,231) and Candida krusei (Ck7, Ck8, Ck11, Ck12), previousl...
