Synergistic Antifungal Activity of Terbinafine in Combination with Light-Activated Gelatin–Silver Nanoparticles Against <i>Candida albicans</i> Strains by Atif Ullah, Fawad Ali, Farman Ullah, Sajid Khan Sadozai, Saeed Ahmed Khan, Sajid Hussain, Abdulwahed Fahad Alrefaei, Sajid Ali

“…These results were complemented by the findings of the time-to-kill assay, where the same strain showed a 3.2 log₁₀ CFU/mL decrease in viable cell count. The process by which AgNPs boost activity entails the disruption of the fungal cell membrane and its internal components, probably as a result of silver ion release and the generation of free radicals. …”
