Drug resistance mechanisms in human pathogenic Candida species are constantly evolving. Over time, these species have developed diverse strategies to counter the effects of various drug classes, making them a significant threat to human health. In addition to well-known mechanisms such as drug target modification, overexpression, and chromosome duplication, Candida species have also developed permeability barriers to antifungal drugs through reduced drug import or increased efflux.

Introduction: is a significant human pathogen with the ability to form biofilms, a critical factor in its resistance to antifungal treatments. This study aims to evaluate the antifungal activity and biofilm inhibition potential of Tea Tree Oil (TTO) derived from cultivated in Vietnam.

Methods: The antifungal activity of TTO was assessed by determining the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), Minimum Fungicidal Concentration (MFC), Minimum Biofilm Inhibitory Concentration (MBIC), and Minimum Biofilm Eradication Concentration (MBEC) using broth dilution methods.

This study investigated endophytic fungi isolated from the medicinal plant Panax notoginseng. Among these, the endophytic fungus SQ3, identified as Chaetomium globosum, was capable of reducing silver ions to form metallic silver nanoparticles. The green-synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) presented a distinct surface plasmon resonance peak at 424 nm, with particle sizes between 2.
