Betydningen af petite kolonier i Candida spp. lægemiddelresistens er ikke blevet undersøgt fuldt ud. Antimikrobiel fotodynamisk terapi (aPDT) tilbyder en lovende strategi mod lægemiddelresistente svampeinfektioner. Denne undersøgelse viser, at rose bengal-medieret aPDT effektivt deaktiverer Candida glabrata og inducerer petite kolonier, hvilket præsenterer en unik procedure.
