Abstract

The emergence of antimicrobial resistance pathogens is threatening public health. Several conventional synthetic drugs are failed to treat resistant pathogens and cause adverse effects, alternative medicines are urgently needed. Recent research in nanomedicines is using our traditional plant materials and increasing their efficacy to treat antimicrobial pathogens. In this study, we have synthesized the Annona muricata-mediated selenium nanoparticles and assessed their antifungal activity against Candida albicans. The common fungi species of C. albicans are associated with various septic infections and oral diseases including oral cancer. In this study, the MIC test result revealed that Annona muricata-mediated selenium nanoparticles significantly inhibit C. albicans growth up to 75% at 100ul concentration. Therefore, AM-SeNPs could be used to treat multiple infections associated with C. albicans. Further research in AM-SeNPs may help bring this medicine to market in the future.
