Nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots as a novel treatment for black fungal bone infections (Mucormycosis): < em > in vitro < /em > and < em > in vivo < /em > study

In conclusion, the present investigation demonstrates that functional N/CQDs and N/MC are effective antifungal agents against a range of microbial pathogenic bone disorders in immunocompromised individuals, with stronger and superior fungicidal activity for N/CQDs than N/MC in vitro and in vivo studies.PMID:38423087 | DOI:10.1080/21691401.2024.2318212
