Chemical Synthesis of Copper Nanospheres and Nanocubes and Their Antibacterial Activity Against Escherichia coli and Enterococcus sp.
Alshareef, A.; Laird, Katie; Cross, R. B. M. (Article)The interest in synthesising inorganic nanomaterials for biological applications has increased in recent years, especially for antibacterial purposes. In the present study, spherical and cube-shaped copper nanoparticles ... -
Comparison of the antibacterial effect of silver and zinc oxide in solution and on coated surfaces
Tejpal, Jyoti; Cross, R. B. M.; Paul, Shashi; Jenkins, R. O.; Laird, Katie (Conference)The occurrence of antibiotic resistance of pathogens is a continuing problem for the health care industry. At least 70% of Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) are known to be resistant to a minimum of one or two of the ... -
Shape-dependent antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles on Escherichia.coli and Enterococcus.faecium bacterium
Alshareef, A.; Laird, Katie; Cross, R. B. M. (Article)Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been shown to exhibit strong antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria including antibiotic resistant strains. The antibacterial activity of ...
