Abstract
In present work, the antimicrobial effect of silver-nanoparticles/celite (SN/C) and silver carbonate/celite (SC/C) composites on Escherichia coli (E. coli) by use of silver nanoparticles and silver carbonate has been studied. Characteristics of the SN/C and SC/C composites were identified by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). SN/C and SC/C composites showed antimicrobial activity and the minimum inhibitory concentration of E. coli were 0.541, 0.344 ppm and the complete sterilizing concentration for the test organism were 1.427, 1.623 ppm. From the results we identified that SN/C and SC/C composites have antimicrobial activity to E. coli.
