The Inhibitory Effects of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles on Clinical Isolates of Malassezia in Dogs
The present study provides evidence of the concentration-dependent antifungal activity of ZnO nanoparticles on Malassezia pachydermatis and suggests that they may be a viable alternative to traditional antifungal agents. Further research is necessary to explore the safety and efficacy of these nanoparticles in vivo.
