Summary: | CeO
2
nanomaterials have attracted a wide attention due to their applications, specially, as antibacterial and antifungal agents in the biomedical applications. In the current work, Fe-doped CeO
2
nanoparticles (with different iron doping concentrations) stabilized with xanthan gum as a green capping agent were prepared by co-precipitation synthesis and characterized by using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope. Inhibitory activity of Fe-doped CeO
2
nanoparticles was evaluated against pathogens including
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
,
Listeria monocytogenes
,
Candida albicans
and
Fusarium oxysporum
via broth micro-dilution and streak plate methods. Good to excellent antimicrobial effects were observed with nanoparticles. These compounds can be used as food preservatives according their low toxicity and acceptable antimicrobial properties. |
