| Research Abstract |
The Ag nanoparticles were significantly more effective than Chlorhexidine gluconate for anti-trophozoite of Acanthoamoeba medication. These particles tended to be more effective than Chlorhexidine gluconate for anti-cyst of Acanthoamoeba medication. Electron microscope analysis showed that these particles were taken in not only trophozoite but also cyst.
MPS containing Ag nanoparticles manifested significant effectiveness of anti-trophozoite and anti-cyst of Acanthoamoeba.
