Biofilms are at least 100­1000-times more resistant to the effects of antimicrobial agents compared with planktonic cells, and nanoparticles have emerged to provide new approaches to improve the safety and efficacy of antimicrobial therapy. The aim of this work was to investigate the antifungal activity with two different functionalized gold nanoparticles. A significant reduction of Candida tropicalis biofilms with alterations in surface topography and architecture was observed, and the oxidative and nitrosative stress affected the biofilms. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that attempts to correlate the antibiofilm effects of gold nanoparticles on the redox imbalance against biofilms. These compounds could be an alternative to fungal biofilms infections treatments, applied specifically in biological and medical fields.
