摘要: The antimicrobial activity of sulfur nanoparticles (SNPs) was compared with elemental and sulfur-containing salts (sodium thiosulfate sodium metabisulfite) against bacteria (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus) fungi (Aspergillus flavus, Candida albicans) using the paper disc, broth microdilution, time-kill assay methods. results disc MIC tests showed stronger SNPs to salts. more potent than fungi. Among test microorganisms, E. coli (Gram-negative) most susceptible SNPs, followed by S. aureus (Gram-positive), C. albicans (yeast), A. flavus (mold). Scanning electron micrographs microorganisms treated different cell disruption patterns depending on type microorganisms.
