Biogenesis of <i>Candida glabrata</i>-Mediated Silver Nanoparticles: Characterization and Antibacterial Effectiveness Against Human Pathogenic Bacteria.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, silver nanoparticles have emerged as potent antimicrobial agents capable of combating extensively drug-resistant pathogenic bacteria that pose serious health risks. The primary aim of our research was to explore the green synthesis of AgNPs using Candida glabrata as an antibacterial agent. A single clinical isolate of Candida glabrata was re-examined via traditional yeast identification methods. Biosynthesis of AgNPs was accomplished by incubating Candida glabrata cell-free supernatant with silver nitrate. AgNP formation was verified by UV-Vis spectroscopy, and the XRD technique assessed the physical properties of the lyophilized AgNPs. EDX and SEM provided insights into the AgNPs' composition, shape, and size. The antibacterial efficacy was evaluated
