Antifungal efficacy of Citrusfusion mediated silver nanoparticles in Candida species
This study underscores the immense potential of nanotechnology-driven approaches harnessing Citrus leaf extract for synthesizing highly effective antifungal nanoparticles. The fusion of biogenic nanoparticles with Citrus bioactive compounds presents a sustainable strategy for addressing the escalating challenge of azole-resistant Candida infections. The research outcomes suggest that CitAgNPs have promising applications in inhibiting Candida biofilms, offering potential solutions for infections caused by diaper rashes and onychomycosis, providing safe and effective alternatives to antifungal therapies.
