The impact of silver and chitosan nanoparticles on A. fumigatus isolates from Ras cheese and sputum of respiratory patients

This work was designed to study the incidence of Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus) in Ras cheese sold in different markets at Sohag city, Egypt and also in sputum samples of respiratory diseases patients admitted to Sohag University Hospital, as well as study the effect of silver (SNPs) and ch...
