Nystatin/Fluconazole was used at a concentration of 100 µg mL^− 1. Calculated mean is for triplicate measurements from three independent experiments ± SD, ^a − eMeans with different superscripts in the same column for each fungal strain’s nanoparticle are considered statistically different (LSD test, P ≤ 0.05)
