Antimicrobial and cytotoxic evaluation of biosurfactant-coated copper nanoparticles: A study on selected endodontic pathogens

Key Points

• The aim is to assess the antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties of biosurfactant-coated copper nanoparticles against selected endodontic pathogens.
• Evaluation of biosurfactant-coated copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) in antimicrobial tests.
• Assessment of cytotoxicity associated with the CuNPs in relevant biological models.
• Biosurfactant-coated CuNPs demonstrated effective antimicrobial activity against selected endodontic pathogens.
• Further research is necessary to evaluate the cytotoxicity levels and confirm clinical applicability.
