Antimicrobial Activity of Colloidal Selenium Nanoparticles in Chitosan Solution against Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Candida albicans

Abstract: Objective: To investigate the antimicrobial activity of colloidal selenium nanoparticles in chitosan solution (Cts-Se-NPs) against Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Candida albicans. Material and Methods: Cts-Se-NPs solution was prepared using a simple chemical reduction method. The MIC and MBC against S. mutans, L. acidophilus, and C. albicans were determined using the broth dilution assay. Results: The Cts-Se-NPs had remarkable antimicrobial activity against S. mutans, L. acidophilus, and … Show more

“…Denture use may change the oral environment and provide a suitable condition for the proliferation and colonization of microorganisms [1,2]. For example, C. albicans, as a commensal fungus that colonizes the human mucosal surfaces in the oral cavity, is present in 30-60% of healthy individuals and 60-100% of denture wearers [3].…”

“…Cts-Se-NPs shown maximum bactericidal concentration (MBC) at 0.274mg/ml where it has completely inhibited S. mutans, C. albicans and L. acidophilus after demonstrating the NPs to culture 1, 2, 6, 24 hours. Whereas, S. mutans and L. acidophilus were seen to be killed after 6 and 24 hours of exposure[42].Key highlights of the review• Metal Nano-compositions (TiO2, ZnO, Ag, CuO, ZrO, SiO2, mesoporous silica) and inert coating materials (BAG, CHX, Ammonium chitosan, sodium alginate, organoselenium) are being used in various fields provides antimicrobial potential and well as strength to the base material.ConclusionOral diseases are affecting to every age group and significantly associated with teeth loss worldwide. Finding have shown, Inert coating materials such as BAG, Ammonium chitosan, Organosellenium and Chlorehexidine shows antimicrobial potential.…”
