Abstract
A method of reducing an amount of a Candida auris biofilm on a surface, including, contacting a composition with the surface, where the composition reduces the amount of the Candida auris biofilm by at least 50% 24 hours after contacting the composition with the surface. The composition includes silicalite, and silver nanoparticles isomorphously substituted in a matrix of the silicalite, where an atomic ratio of Si to Ag is in a range of 25:1 to 1:1. The particles of the composition have a spherical shape and an average size of 400-800 nm.
