Gold nanoparticles as efficient antimicrobial agents for Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi

It is imperative to eliminate bacteria present in water in order to avoid problems in healthy. Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi bacteria are two common pollutants and they are developing resistance to some of the most used bactericide. Therefore new biocide materials are being tested. Thus, gold nanoparticles are proposed to inhibit the growth of these two microorganisms.Gold nanoparticles were supported onto clinoptilolite, mordenite and...
