Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The porphyrin-dependent inactivation of Staphyloccocus aureus and the induction of mesosomal structures are described. The antimicrobial activity of different photoactivated porphyrins was compared with the dark cytotoxic effect of hemin. Deuteroporphyrin, protoporphyrin, hematoporphyrin, and hematoporphyrin derivative (Hpd) markedly reduced cell growth upon irradiation with light. Photofrin II, the polymerized fraction of Hpd, and other synthetic porphyrins had no effect on staphylococcal growth. Hemin immediately inhibited cell viability in the dark and induced the development of an irregular cell wall, analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Inside the cytoplasm a multivesicular mesosome was formed near the septum, as detected by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The mesosomal volume and its frequency in the cells was increased in a time-dependent manner. The mesosome appearance was not related to fixation by glutaraldehyde or to post-fixation by osmium tetroxide. Glycosyl moieties stained by ruthenium red revealed the formation of membrane-like structures in the mesosome. It is concluded that oxygen-dependent reactions potentiated by porphyrins may induce disturbances in the synthesis of staphylococcal membrane and cell wall, revealed as mesosomes. © 1988 Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
