Synthesis, characterization and antifungal activity of coated silver nanoparticles-nystatin and coated silver nanoparticles-clotrimazol
Main Article Content
Abstract
Two silver nanoparticles containing compounds were prepared by simple chemical reactions and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), infra-red spectrum (FTIR) and atomic force microscope (AFM). These functionalized silver nanoparticles were used to study their biological activity against four types of fungi. These compounds proved to have high inhibition effect against all types of studied fungi. Due to the presence of silver nanoparticles which increases nystatin and clotrimazol interact with the fungi.
