Relative mRNA expression of C. albicans ALS1 [agglutinin-like sequence 1, (A)], PLB1 [phospholipase B, (B)], and HYR1 [hyphally regulated, (C)] biofilm-related genes on day 15 post-treatment in response to therapeutic efficacy of hydrogel loaded with pomegranate peel extract-hyaluronic acid-silver nanoparticles (PPE-HA-AgNPs) by different concentrations for 15 days in rat cutaneous wound experimentally infected with C. albicans. Control: C. albicans infected and non-treated rats, commercial cream: ketoconazole cream (2%), PEE-HA-AgNPsI: 25% concentration of formulated nanocomposite, PPE-HA-AgNPsII: 50% concentration of formulated nanocomposite, PPE-HA-AgNPsIII: full concentration of formulated nanocomposite. a–eMean values with distinct letters in the same column changed significantly (p < 0.05).
