METHODS: The present experimental study included 126 tissue conditioner samples with different concentrations of copper oxide nanoparticles (20%, 10%, 5%, 2.5%, 1.25%, 0.625%, and 0% w/w). The samples were incubated with Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans in 24-well plates for 24 h. Then, samples from the wells were re-incubated for 24 h, and the microorganisms were counted.
RESULTS: The culture media containing E. faecalis and P. aeruginosa showed significantly different growth between different nanoparticle concentrations following 24 h (P < 0.001), showing a reduction in bacterial growth with increased nanoparticle concentration. Both bacteria did not show any growth at the 20% concentration. However, C. albicans showed significant differences in growth between different nanoparticle concentrations following 48 h (P < 0.001), showing a reduction in growth with increased nanoparticle concentration. Also, the least growth was observed at the 20% concentration.
CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, the CuO nanoparticles were prepared using a green synthesis methon in the suitable sizes. Moreover, the tissue conditioners containing CuO nanoparticles showed acceptable antimicrobial properties against E. faecalis, P. aeruginosa, and C. albicans.
方法:本实验研究包括126个组织调理剂样品,其中含有不同浓度的氧化铜纳米颗粒(20%,10%,5%,2.5%,1.25%,0.625%,和0%w/w)。将样品与粪肠球菌一起孵育,铜绿假单胞菌,和白色念珠菌在24孔板中放置24小时。然后,将来自孔的样品重新孵育24小时,并对微生物进行计数。
结果:含有粪肠球菌和铜绿假单胞菌的培养基在24小时后显示出不同纳米颗粒浓度之间的显着生长差异(P<0.001),显示随着纳米颗粒浓度的增加,细菌生长减少。两种细菌在20%浓度下均未显示任何生长。然而,48h后,白色念珠菌在不同纳米颗粒浓度之间的生长表现出显著差异(P<0.001),显示随着纳米粒子浓度的增加,生长减少。此外,在20%浓度下观察到最小的生长。
结论:结论:CuO纳米粒子是使用绿色合成方法以合适的尺寸制备的。此外,含有CuO纳米颗粒的组织调理剂对粪肠球菌显示出可接受的抗菌性能,铜绿假单胞菌,还有白色念珠菌.
