BACKGROUND One of the most serious problems in dentistry is the growth of bacteria and fungi on complete dentures. The growth in question takes place on the surface of the elastic liners of their tissue conditioners. However, this problem can be solved by adding nanoparticles with antibacterial and antifungal properties to the tissue conditioners. METHODS After bacterial and fungal microorganisms were cultured, the suspensions obtained were incubated for 24 and 48 h respectively. It was conducted under incubation conditions with a tissue conditioner containing chitosan nanoparticles. The growth rate of microorganisms was measured in the culture medium using a spectrophotometer. RESULTS Different concentrations of chitosan nanoparticles led to the inhibition of fungal and bacterial growth in within both 24 and 48 h. CONCLUSIONS Chitosan nanoparticles have an inhibitory effect on the growth of bacteria and pathogenic fungi.

D001419 Bacteria One of the three domains of life (the others being Eukarya and ARCHAEA), also called Eubacteria. They are unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms which generally possess rigid cell walls, multiply by cell division, and exhibit three principal forms: round or coccal, rodlike or bacillary, and spiral or spirochetal. Bacteria can be classified by their response to OXYGEN: aerobic, anaerobic, or facultatively anaerobic; by the mode by which they obtain their energy: chemotrophy (via chemical reaction) or PHOTOTROPHY (via light reaction); for chemotrophs by their source of chemical energy: CHEMOLITHOTROPHY (from inorganic compounds) or chemoorganotrophy (from organic compounds); and by their source for CARBON; NITROGEN; etc.; HETEROTROPHY (from organic sources) or AUTOTROPHY (from CARBON DIOXIDE). They can also be classified by whether or not they stain (based on the structure of their CELL WALLS) with CRYSTAL VIOLET dye: gram-negative or gram-positive. Eubacteria
