The European Network for diagnosis and treatment of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections-EURESTOP COST Action CA21145 focuses on tackling the burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and has gathered many members working on photodynamic approaches. This European consortium is presented here in the One Health context, to highlight the potential of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) in the fight against AMR.
