Article Synopsis
- A persistent fungal colonizer can cause severe infections, especially in immunocompromised people, and is often resistant to standard antifungal treatments.
- Researchers evaluated the antifungal effectiveness of metabolites from a bacterial strain (F4a) and their combination with biologically synthesized silver nanoparticles (bioAgNP) against both free-floating and biofilm forms of the fungus.
- The study found that F4a and bioAgNP could significantly reduce fungal growth without harming mammalian cells, suggesting a promising new approach to treat fungal infections.
