Antimycotic activity of zinc oxide decorated with silver nanoparticles against Trichophyton mentagrophytes
Abstract(#br)Antimycotic behavior of zinc oxide decorated with silver nanoparticles (ZnO-AgNPs) against Trichophyton mentagrophytes ( T. mentagrophytes ) was investigated on this work. Silver decoration size was modulated during Ag 2 O and Ag 0 synthesis in aqueous solution at pH\u003cce:hsp sp=\"0.25\"/\u003e11, 12 and 14, obtaining the smallest size at pH\u003cce:hsp sp=\"0.25\"/\u003e12 and the largest at pH\u003cce:hsp sp=\"0.25\"/\u003e14. In ex-situ tests, ZnO-AgNPs prevents successfully the growth of T.
