In vitro antifungal activity of silver nanoparticles against fluconazole-resistant Candida species.

Nowadays, current advances in nanotechnology constitute a promising alternative in the development of new antimicrobial agents. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are some very interesting products currently provided by available nanotechnology for control of microbial infection. In the present study, AgNPs were synthesized by eco-friendly method, using cysteine as a reducing agent.
