Abstract:Medicinal plant-based cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO 2 NPs) possessed excellent antimicrobial properties against multiple strains of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The CeO 2 NPs are popular because their electropositive charged surface causes oxidation of plasma membrane and facilitates the penetration of CeO 2 NPs inside the pathogen body. In the present research work, CeO 2 NPs stabilized with Mentha leaf extract; as a result, nanoparticles surface-bonded with various functional groups of phytoch… Show more
