Nanomaterials have excellent antibacterial properties that help them fight diseases. Regularly, pathogenic microorganisms put human health in danger by spreading infectious diseases. Objectives: This study is to evaluate the antifungal effectiveness of silver-doped nanoparticles with metal oxide nanoparticles. Material and Methods: The MIC auto-combustion process was used to create silver (NPS), nanoparticles, and silver was doped on (Zn, Cu and Ni). SEM-EDX was used to characterize the obtained Ag and doped Ag Results. Ago and doped Ago inhibit C. Martini, C.flexuosus, and C. Winterianu at different concentrations for doped and undoped silver nanoparticles with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of doped AgN0 (A2) 8±1 at 0.5 concentration 8±1 at 0.5 Copper doped Ag at 12 ± 1 at 0.5 concentration (C.flexuous), and similarly copped doped Ag showed reduced colony size 15±1. As a result, despite the fact that the synthesis methods have been studied for them produced positive results, their antifungal properties are unclear.
