Abstract

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: is the most common species (sp.) isolated from fungal infections. Azole resistance in species has been considerably increased in the last decades. Given the toxicity of the antimicrobial drugs, resistance to antifungal agents, and drug interactions, the identification of new antifungal agents seems essential. In this study, we assessed the antifungal effects of biogenic selenium nanoparticles on and determined the expression of and genes.
