Abstract

Zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by a chemical method and characterized by various analytical techniques such as UV-visible spectroscopy, SEM-EDX, XRD, and FTIR. X-ray diffraction and SEM analysis confirmed the formation of well- dispersed zinc oxide nanoparticles with average particle size 22 nm as well as revealed their spherical structure. Chemically synthesized nanoparticles were found to exhibit antibacterial activity against bacterial strains <i>Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> and <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> using agar well diffusion method of analysis.<div><br></div>
