Cytotoxic and antimicrobial effects of Au25(Capt)18 clusters and MB.

Notes: (A, B) Viability of NIH3T3 cells (A) and MC3T3-E1 cells (B) at 2, 4, and 6 days (n=5, mean ± SD). *P<0.05 vs 500 μg/mL Au clusters; #P<0.05 vs 10 μg/mL MB. (C, D) Turbidity assays of A. actinomycetemcomitans (C) and P. gingivalis (D) after 24-h incubation (n=5, mean ± SD). P<0.05 vs control; §P<0.05 vs 500 μg/mL Au clusters and 10 μg/mL MB.

Abbreviations: au, arbitrary unit; MB, methylene blue; SD, standard deviation; A. actinomycetemcomitans, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans; P. gingivalis, Porphyromona gingivalis.
