Cladosporium cladosporioides 포자에 대한 나노입자의 항진균 특성 평가

Abstract

The antifungal activity of silver, copper, and titania nanoparticles against fungal spores was investigated. Cladosporium cladosporioides spores were aerosolized and sampled on a solid agar plate using an Anderson impactor. The solid agar plate contained different concentration of nanoparticles ranging from 0 to 500 μg/mL. Silver and copper nanoparticles were shown to be an effective antifungal agent, while titania nanoparticles were not. Antifungal activity of these effective nanoparticles appeared at 300 μg/mL concentration.
