Antibacterial and Antifungal Activity of Nanofungal Molecules Using Pleurotus eryngii Mushroom

Abstract

Molecular synthesis at nano level is becoming a growing field of science due to its treatment and solution-oriented applications. Plants and bacteria in particular have an important place in nanoparticle production. The positive results of nanofungal structures in scientific studies in recent years have led the scientific world to turn to fungal nanomolecule synthesis. Silver coated nanofungal structures are highly preferred in medical and industrial applications. In our study, the Antibacterial and Antifungal activity of nano molecules obtained by using Pleurotus eryngii (Heliz Mushroom) and AgNO3 was investigated by using Disk diffusion method. Ten different clinical strains were used in the study. Looking at the results obtained, it was determined that nano molecules formed zones varying between 9.1-15.0 against pathogenic microorganisms used. In addition, it was observed that nanoparticles formed zones more effective against some pathogens than antibiotics used as positive control.
