It is not neccesary for the nanoparticles to enter the cell to kill it. You should specify what kind of nanoparticles you are talking about.

Hi Omar,

I'm working on copper nanoparticles. What's the mechanism of action of Copper nanoparticles on Candida albicans ?

It will be hard for the nanoparticles to enter the cell wall. Despite this the toxicity effect will occur when they start oxidizing and dissolving.
