Some Candidemia studies have documented changes in epidemiology of Candida species and some species were reported as emerging species. We conducted a study over a 6 years period and until 2005 we do not noticed any change in epidemiology of Candida even if Candida albicans still the most common species followed by Candida glabrata. No increase of candidemia was observed from 2000 to 2005 and we observed a decrease during the year 2006, this fact have to be confirm and may be related to other data: reinforcement of hygienic measures in our hospital, changes in treatment or preemptive treatment of yeasts and fungi with new azoles or candines molecules. On another side, patients from intensive care units and patients suffering of cancer were, as expected, the most represented population in our study.

The biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using cyanobacteria has gained significant attention due to its cost-effective and eco-friendly advantages in green synthesis. Additionally, biogenic AgNPs show great potential for biological applications, particularly in combating infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria and fungi. This study synthesized using the cyanobacterium Oscillatoria salina (Os-AgNPs).

Invasive fungal infections have become an increasingly serious threat to global human health, underscoring the urgent need for the development of new antifungal drugs. In this study, we found a natural polyphenolic compound 1,2,3,4,6-O-pentagalloyl-glucose (PGG), which is present in various plants and herbs. PGG showed broad-spectrum antifungal activities, enhancing the efficacy of fluconazole.
