Biofilms are able to casue microorganisms to be 80% more resistant to antibiotics. The extracelullar polymeric substance (EPS) in biofilm functions to protect bacteria, making it difficult for antibiotics to penetrate the biofilm layer. This study aims to determine the effective- ness of photodynami...
