Description
Summary:[...]different concentrations of TiO2 Nps (20, 40, 80 and 100 pg/ml) were loaded on each disc and 50% ethanol was used as a negative control. [...]electromagnetic attractions between microorganisms and metal oxides lead to oxidization and finally result in the death of microorganisms. [...]TiO2 NPs proved to be a potential antibacterial agent against both grampositive and gram- negative microorganisms though revealed to be most effective against gram negative bacteria. 4. [...]TiO2 NPs could be recommended for biomedical applications especially in dental and ortho-care as they are inert and less toxic.
