Extracellular Biosynthesis, Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity of Silver Nanoparticles Synthesized by Filamentous Fungi

Researchers used three types of fungi to naturally create tiny silver particles that can kill harmful bacteria and fungi. These particles were much smaller than the width of a human hair and proved especially effective against dangerous bacteria like those causing hospital infections and Candida yeast infections. This green manufacturing method is safer for the environment than traditional chemical approaches and could help address the growing problem of drug-resistant infections.
