A Review on the Antifungal Activity of Different Nanoparticles

Vikas Choudhary

Abstract


In this study, investigated the antifungal effects of nanoparticles such as silver nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, ZnO, TiO2, etc. Nanoparticles have small particle size, large surface area and high reactivity against fungi. Today, some of drugs also available in the market but these drugs are not showing better result against some of fungi. The aim of the review is introducing the new generation antifungal agents for clinical applications. Keywords: Ag–NPs, Antifungal, Nanoparticle, TiO2, ZnO
