Preparation, Characterization, and Antimicrobial Properties of Chitosan-Silver Nanocomposites Films Against Fish Pathogenic Bacteria and Fungi.

Abstract: Development of nanostructured films using natural polymers and metals has become a considerable interest in various biomedical applications. Objective of the present study was to develop silver nano particles (AgNPs) embedded chitosan films with antimicrobial properties. Based on the Ag content, two types of chitosan silver nano films, named as CAgNfs-12 (12 mM) and CAgNfs-52 (52 mM) were prepared and characterized.

In vitro and in vivo antifungal efficacy of plant based lawsone against Fusarium oxysporum species complex.

Fusarium oxysporum is an ascomycete facultative fungus which generally affects to plants. However, it is recently known as a serious emerging opportunistic pathogen of human and other animals. F.
