The Effect of Carbon Quantum Dots on Candida Species

Abstract

Aim: Fungal resistance among Candida species limits antifungal efficacy, posing a global health threat. Due to increasing resistance and infection rates, this study explores carbon quantum dots(CQDs), synthesized with different heteroatom sources, as alternative antifungal agents against various Candida strains. Materials and Methods: CQDs NaOH and CQDs EDA were synthesized and tested against six Candida strains using disk diffusion and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration(MIC) methods. Results: Both CQDs formulations exhibited measurable antifungal activity against the tested Candida strains. Notably, CQDs EDA demonstrated superior antifungal efficacy compared to CQDs NaOH. Furthermore, the antifungal effect of CQDs EDA was more pronounced against clinical isolates relative to standard reference strains. Conclusion: Incorporating various heteroatoms during CQDs synthesis alters key physicochemical properties such as surface chemistry, optical behavior, and cellular interactions. These changes significantly impact antifungal activity against Candida spp. Thus, selecting suitable carbon sources and dopants is crucial for optimizing CQDs antifungal therapeutic potential.
