GARCIA-MARIN, Luis Enrique e CASTRO-LONGORIA, Ernestina. Metallic nanoparticles: an alternative against resistant species causing candidiasis. Mundo nano [online]. 2023, vol.16, n.31, 69780. Epub 04-Set-2023. ISSN 2448-5691. https://doi.org/10.22201/ceiich.24485691e.2023.31.69780.
Candidiasis is a disease caused by different Candida species, with C. albicans being the most common in clinical isolates worldwide. This disease is a problem for the health sector, due to the multiresistance that some Candida species present to the antifungals traditionally used. C. glabrata and C. auris are two species frequently reported as resistant to azoles, echinocandins and polyenes. Therefore, the search for new antifungals is a priority. Nanotechnology offers new alternatives, such as the use of metallic nanoparticles (NPs). In particular, silver and copper NPs have been reported as efficient inhibition agents against C. albicans. This paper presents the most relevant studies that have evaluated the effect of metallic NPs in Candida spp., as well as the most promising results.
