Abstract

The bactericidal action of silver (0) nanoparticles and amoxicillin on Escherichia coli is studied, respectively. Increasing concentration of both amoxicillin (0–0.525 mg ml−1) and silver nanoparticles (0–40 µg ml−1) showed a higher antibacterial effect in Luria–Bertani (LB) medium. Escherichia coli...
