[ 2 ] - Antimicrobial Effects of Zinc Oxide and Silver Nitrate Nanoparticles on S. aureus, A. baumannii and P. aeruginosa

Background and Objective: Nanoparticles have been introduced as novel antimicrobial agents because of their properties that are different from their bulk properties. Present study was aimed to investigate antimicrobial activity of silver nitrate and zinc oxide nanoparticles against three main bacteria responsible for nosocomial infections, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa and A. baumannii. Materials a...
