“Spherical silver nanoparticles (nano-Ag) were synthesised and their antifungal effects on fungal pathogens of the
skin were investigated. Silver ions showed potent activity against clinical isolates of Trichophyton mentagrophytes
and Candida. The activity of Silver ions was comparable to that of amphotericin B, but superior to that of fluconazole
The results show that silver ions exert activity on the mycelia. The study indicates that Silver ions have considerable
antifungal activity.”
