Synthesis, Characterization and Antimicrobial Studies of SnO2 Nanoparticles

This study was involved to synthesize and investigate the antimicrobial properties of highly pure nanocrystalline SnO2 by simple chemical method. In the nanorods, SnO2 nanoparticles, with a size of about 74 nm, the SnO2 nanoparticles were maximum antibacterial activity against both bacterial and fungal with the zone of inhibition for Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aures, Salmonella typhi and Ascerpergillus Flavus, Ascerpergillus Niger from 25μg/ml and 100 μg/ml respectively. SnO2 nanoparticles showed good activity against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria confirming these as future broad spectrum antibacterial a cost effective way and to study its antimicrobial properties. We observed an effective antibacterial and antifungal activity of the SnO2 nanoparticle against bacteria and fungi. The results showed that SnO2 nanoparticles enhanced the good antibacterial activity.
