Bacterial cell permeability study by metal oxide and mixed metal oxide nanoparticles: analysis of the factors contributing to the antibacterial activity of nanoparticles.

In this work, we investigate the nanoparticle-cell wall interaction by NiO and mixed metal oxide CuO-NiO nanoparticles. We have synthesized and characterized the nanoparticles using XRD, FESEM, EDS, UV vis. spectroscopy, FTIR, Zeta, and TEM analysis in our previous work.
