Description
Rosy Bala and colleagues tested plant-made copper nanoparticles against Candida fungi. Their 2023 paper uses extract of Euphorbia milii to form the particles. Fungal infections threaten patients in intensive care and those with weak immunity. Candida bloodstream infections rank among the top hospital-acquired infections. Resistance to standard antifungal drugs keeps growing worldwide.
Green synthesis offers a cleaner route to antimicrobial particles. The plant extract both forms and coats the copper nanoparticles. Lab tests measured killing power against Candida species. Non-albicans species joined the classic albicans in the tests. Such species drive much of the recent rise in cases. Strong lab results would support a new class of antifungal tools. The study sits at the join of botany and nanotechnology.
