Mini Review: Biologically Synthesized Nanoparticles as Antifungal Agents

Fungal infections are affecting millions of people in the world every year. Severity range from superficial mycoses to more chronic systemic mycoses. As fungi species evolve, emergence drug resistant strains is becoming a serious concern public health. There now less number effective antifungal drugs available market for treatment invasive fungal infections. In an effort combat this escalating issue, use nanoparticles as agent has been proposed and explored. Versatility its unique physico-chemical properties proven beneficial developing new therapeutic methods Nanoparticles produced biological synthesis have attracted keen interests researchers, they environmentally friendly, sustainable, cost-effective, biocompatible. This mini review will provide insight on current studies discuss theory behind mechanism actions nanoparticles.
