Oxygen-independent bacterial killing mediated by fullerenes and sodium azide. Bacteria (10(8) cells/mL) were incubated with fullerene compounds at 10 µM for 1 hour, followed by exposure to increasing fluences of while light (400–700 nm). aPDI was carried in the presence or absence of sodium azide (10 mM) and in the presence or absence of oxygen (75% N2/25% Ar). (A) MRSA + LC14; (B) MRSA + LC15; (C) MRSA + LC16; (D) E. coli + LC14; (E) E. coli + LC15; (F) E. coli + LC16. Adapted from data in [74].
