Article Abstract
This paper investigated the antifungal and antibiofilm activity of silver nanoparticles synthesized with extracts against species. extracts obtained by homogenization were mixed with silver nitrate to synthesize silver nanoparticles. Analysis of the particle characteristics by UV-Vis spectrophotometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) confirmed that the extracts effectively served as reductants and capping agents. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) tests were conducted to confirm antifungal activity against species. In all the tested species, the silver nanoparticles inhibited the growth of . Moreover, the SEM images of species treated with silver nanoparticles synthesized using natural extracts of showed that silver nanoparticles adhered to the surface of which induced pore formation in the membranes and prevented their normal growth. Ultimately, these abnormal forms of were thought to be less able to form biofilms than normal . The antifungal and antibiofilm activities of silver nanoparticles against are expected to be utilized in various fields and contribute in particular to developments in nanomedicine.

Introduction: This study evaluates two innovative protective treatments for wooden cultural heritage objects vulnerable to biodeterioration. The first involves polyacrylic resin solutions embedded with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), while the second uses the siloxane-based coupling agent 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (3-MPTMS) to enhance AgNP adhesion to wood surfaces.
Methods: Antimicrobial, anti-biofilm, and anti-metabolic activities were assessed using both qualitative and quantitative assays against biodeteriogenic strains (, and ).

Melamine is an additive used fraudulently to enrich foods with nitrogen, particularly in the dairy industry. It is also known as the main metabolite or degradation phytosanitary product of cyromazine. However, the numerous incidents involving living beings in aquatic environments, children and pets fed with products made from melamine in China and certain African countries have led to distrust of melamine in food.

The present study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and chloroquine (CQ) 10 mg/kg in treating lung inflammation caused by infection in a mouse model. Fifty female C57BL/6 mice were divided into five groups: control, leaf extract (IOLE) AgNPs treated, infected, infected and IOLE AgNPs treated, infected and CQ 10 mg/kg treated. Lung histopathology was assessed using microscopic analysis and immunohistochemistry investigation for TNF-α and IL-6.
