Overview

Systematic review demonstrates enhanced antimicrobial effects of selenium-added silver nanoparticles, suggesting improved applications in various fields.

Key Points

  • This review examines whether the incorporation of selenium nanoparticles into silver nanoparticles can improve their antimicrobial and biological properties.
  • Systematic review following PRISMA 2020 guidelines
  • Search across multiple databases including Scopus and PubMed
  • Evaluation of in vitro studies on Se-AgNPs' effects.
  • Se-AgNPs showed enhanced antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fungal strains.
  • Demonstrated significant antibacterial and antibiofilm efficacy, suggesting a synergistic effect.
  • Improved cell adhesion, viability, and proliferation while displaying reduced cytotoxicity.
