Antimicrobial Activity of MgB 2 Powders Produced via Reactive Liquid Infiltration Method

We report for the first time on the antimicrobial activity of MgB powders produced via the Reactive Liquid Infiltration (RLI) process. Samples with MgB wt.% ranging from 2% to 99% were obtained and characterized, observing different levels of grain aggregation and of impurity phases. Their antimicro...

Description
Summary:We report for the first time on the antimicrobial activity of MgB powders produced via the Reactive Liquid Infiltration (RLI) process. Samples with MgB wt.% ranging from 2% to 99% were obtained and characterized, observing different levels of grain aggregation and of impurity phases. Their antimicrobial activity was tested against ATCC BAA 1026, ATCC 29212, ATCC 25922, ATCC 27853, and ATCC 10231. A general correlation is observed between the antibacterial activity and the MgB wt.%, but the sample microstructure also appears to be very important. RLI-MgB powders show better performances compared to commercial powders against microbial strains in the planktonic form, and their activity against biofilms is also very similar.
