Antifungal Activity of Silver Nanoparticle in Different Sizes against Some Pathogenic Fungi
Authors
Abstract:
Skin infection caused by Tricophyton rubrum and some opportunistic fungi such as Candida. Albicance and Aspergillus. fumigatus occur in various parts of the body and sometimes are difficult to be treated. Antifungal effects of spherical silver nanoparticles (nano-Ag) were investigated in this study. Although silver nanoparticle has long been used as effective inorganic antifungal agent; the antifungal activity of nano-Ag in different size has not been investigated yet. In this study nano-Ag in diameter size of 10, 20, 40 nm were examined. The minimal inhibitory concentration (completive visual growth inhibition) of these nanoparticles ranged from 4-16 µg/ml for all fungal test strain. Thus, the current study indicates nano- Ag may have considerable antifungal activity, deserving further investigation for clinical applications.

Leptadenia pyrotechnica was evaluated for its antifungal activity against some pathogenic fungi. Extracts in different organic solvents were used for disc diffusion assay. Hexane and ethyl acetate extracts have showed maximum inhibition zone against A. niger (15mm and 12.2 mm respectively). Methanol extract showed maximum activity against F. oxysporium (13.0mm) and A. flavus (15mm) while aqueou...

The leaf pulp of Aloe vera Tourn. ex Linn., designated as the gel, and the bitter, yellow liquid fraction have been tested against pathogens (bacteria and fungi) affecting human and plants. However, their activity for fungal control in commercial industrial crops has not been determined. Thus, researchers at Mexico carried out studies to evaluate the inhibitory effect of Aloe pulp and liquid fr...
