Abstract
In the present work antibacterial effect of NCO (Nano-Cerium Oxide) particles on E.Coli (Escherichia Coli) Bacteria was studied. NCO (Nano Cerium Oxide) particles were synthesized via microwave induced combustion method. XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) and FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) characterized. NCO particles. Using Scherrer equation it was noted that NCO particles of 14-25 nm size were produced. The SEM and XRD results showed that size of NCO particles was decreased with increasing synthesization time. Synthesization time played vital role on the size of NCO particles. It was also noted that antibacterial action of NCO particles is size dependent. Antibacterial study through disc diffusion method revealed that NCO particles enhanced the efficiency of Amikin Grasil, Terivid and spraxin drugs against the E.Coli bacteria appreciably.

Summary
Erium oxide commonly known as ceric oxide or Cceria is most abundant rare earth metal oxide. Some microorganisms are harmful for human body and cause diseases in different ways such as E.Coli bacteria, staphylococcus aureus, and pseudomonas [6]. NCO particles has FCC crystal structure and is highly stronger than other rare earth oxides such as Bi O (Bismuth Dioxide), 23. NCO particles material is one of important example of a metal oxide nanomaterial with many biomedical applications [12,13,14]. Previous research work mostly focused on effect of NCO particles on staphylococcus aureus and pseudomonas microorganism The present study aims to investigate the antibacterial effect of NCO particles on E.
