These emergency zoonotic diseases that originated and transmitted from vertebrates to humans have been estimated to account for approximately one billion cases of illness and have caused millions of deaths worldwide annually. The recent emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (coronavirus disease 2019) is an excellent example of the unpredictable public health threat causing a pandemic.

Nanoparticles attracted much attentions because of their very small size that increases the surface to capacity ratio and consequently increase chemical activity. In this study, the antibacterial effects of silver, copper oxide, nickel oxide, and titanium dioxide nanoparticles were studied on Proteus vulgaris, as a bacterium involved in the resistant hospital infections.
