Objective and background data: Overcoming bacterial antibiotic resistance requires alternative strategies. The ability of photoactivated collagen-embedded flavins (PCF) to reduce bioburden in infected pressure ulcers was investigated.

Ulcers and surrounding skin were covered with TegadermÔ and inoculated with 0
