Abstract: The in vitro activity of nano-silver versus those of amphotericin B was
assessed against 37 plmonary aspergillosis isolates.
The activity of nano-silver against Aspergillus spp. is 2 times
greater than that of amphotericin B. Nano-silver’s
antifungalactivity was superior to hose of amphotericin B against plmonarypathogenic
fungi in vitro.
