| dc.description.abstract | The rate at which the population is ageing is much faster than in the past. An increase in age results in an increase in oral diseases. One of the most common types of oral diseases in the elderly are fungal infections caused by Candida albicans. It has been noted that drug resistance to fungal pathogens is developing into a serious threat to public health and healthcare systems worldwide. This has consequently led to the need to develop effective and innocuous treatment modalities. The purpose of this study was to explore the antimicrobial and cytotoxic potential of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesised from Berzelia lanuginose, Helichrysum cymosum, and Searsia crenata. | en_US |
