DOI: 10.1111/myc.13521
Abstract: Fungal infections have increased considerably over the last decades, becoming progressively resistant to common drugs. UVC light has shown microbiological eradication effects, whereby the wavelength of 254 nm is strongly carcino‐ and mutagenic. Therefore, 222 and… read more here.
