Full summary

671 CHARS

This narrative review examines the antimicrobial properties of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) based on published preclinical research. It details various synthesis methods (chemical, biological, physical), noting that synthesis method influences nanoparticle size, shape, and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The review summarizes SeNPs' demonstrated antibacterial, fungicidal, and antiviral activities in laboratory settings, highlighting their potential as an alternative to combat antimicrobial resistance. Limitations include the preclinical nature of the evidence and the acknowledged need for more thorough investigation of the chronic cytotoxicity of SeNPs.

ABSTRACT

The resistance of microorganisms to antimicrobial drugs is an important problem worldwide. To solve this problem, active searches for antimicrobial components, approaches and therapies are being carried out. Selenium nanoparticles have high potential for antimicrobial activity. The relevance of their application is indisputable, which can be noted due to the significant increase in publications on the topic over the past decade. This review of research publications aims to provide the reader with up-to-date information on the antimicrobial properties of selenium nanoparticles, including susceptible microorganisms, the mechanisms of action of nanoparticles on bacteria and the effect of nanoparticle properties on their antimicrobial activity. This review describes the most complete information on the antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal effects of selenium nanoparticles.
