“…One way is the utilization of a fine covering entity over these particles, and the other is to prepare the metal complexes without a change in the activity they possess, making them non-toxic. Successful reports on various biocompatible agents, such as citrate, dextrin, polystyrene, gold, silver, and zinc, have been studied for biomedical and antimicrobial utilization [10][11][12]. Therefore, the properties of ferrites can be enhanced by conjugated metallic ions in their structure, such as cobalt and iron ions [13].…”

“…Among the fungal pathogen, Candida albicans is the most prevalent forms, possessing a biofilm-producing ability on both biological and other surfaces. Additionally, pathogenicity mediated by biofilms on devices such as artificial prosthesis, dentures, pacemakers, prosthetic joints, central venous catheter, intrauterine device, etc., display a calamitous effect [12].…”

Neodymium (Nd)-substituted cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (NPs), i.e., CoNdxFe2−xO4 (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2) NPs, were synthesized by the sonochemical method. The compositional characterization was done by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Antistaphylococcal activity was found to be enhanced, i.e., survival rate was 50%, 45%, 40%, and 30% with the increase in the ratio of Nd (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2), whereas anticandidal activity was found efficient, i.e., 9%, 20%, 22%, and 40% survival rate at all the four ratios. The morphogenesis studies indicated that the synthesized metal–ligand, improves the antimicrobial capacity by binding them strongly to the microbial walls. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report which demonstrates the series of CoNdxFe2−xO4 (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2) NPs being active towards Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans and encourages its potential candidature for pharmaceutical and biomedical purposes.

“…Another simple method for ZFNP synthesis, the combustion method, 36,66–70 typically involves formation of a gel of the desired ratio of precursors in the presence of a mild reducing agent, with citric acid being the most frequently used. This gel is combusted into ashes at an appropriate temperature.…”

“…In recent eras, the increase in microorganisms resistance to antibiotic treatments has become a concern because of the potentially harmful effects on human health. Among the fungal pathogens, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger are the most prevalent microorganisms involved in fungal infection [1,2]. The two pathogens cause numerous infections in the mouth, skin, blood, throat, ear, heart valves, and severe lung disease.…”

Spinel ferrite nanoparticles (NPs), have received a lot of attention in medical applications. Therefore, facile synthesis of ferrite NPs of numerous shapes and sizes using the citrate autocombustion technique was utilized in this article. A series of ferrite with the general formula MeFe2O4 [Me = nickle (Ni), calcium (Ca), and strontium (Sr)] are synthesized with varying average ionic radii and cation disorder on the A-site. The structural and morphological characterization of the prepared samples was performed using XRD, HRTEM, FESEM, EDAX, XPS, and Raman analyses. The phase transformation from cubic (Ni) to orthorhombic (Ca) to monoclinic (Sr) was also revealed by XRD. Accordingly, HRTEM images demonstrated nanoparticles in orthorhombic and monoclinic shapes, which are inconsistent with XRD analyses. The coercive field HC for monoclinic SrFe2O4 is ≈ 42 times larger than the Hc for NiFe2O4 with a cubic structure. This deviation in HC compared to the cubic shape particles can be coupled to the shape anisotropy present in SrFe2O4 and refers to the presence of a preferred magnetization direction within the material. The use of monoclinic SrFe2O4 NPs as antifungal activity agents is noteworthy due to their advantages in terms of surface area, efficacy, and biodegradability.
