ABSTRACT
282Antimicrobial activity was observed for zero valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) against Gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacteria and fungal (Candida albicans and Trichophyton rubrum) strains. The nZVI showed significant anti-fungal and anti-bacterial activity against tested strains. These results suggest the possibility of using nZVI for effective development of antimicrobial drugs with high efficacy toward the pathogenic microorganisms.
