Preparation and characterization of ZnO nanoparticles coated by chitosan-linoleic acid; fungal growth and biofilm assay

Abstract

It is concluded that the new synthesized nanoparticle has appropriate efficacy compared with fluconazole in inhibitory activity on C. albicans growth and biofilm formation. As a result, ZnO NPs can be introduced as an effective agent for diminishing adhesion capacity of C. albicans (Tab. 1, Fig. 4, Ref. 26).
