Superior visible light antimicrobial performance of facet engineered cobalt doped TiO mesocrystals in pathogenic bacterium and fungi.

Pristine and Co-doped TiO mesocrystals have been synthesized via a simple sol-gel method and their antimicrobial activity has been investigated. The antimicrobial performance was evaluated in terms of zone of inhibition, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), antibiofilm activity, and effect of UV illumination in liquid media. The Co-doped TiO mesocrystals showed very promising MIC of 0.
