Enhanced bioactivity of a GO–Fe(3)O(4) nanocomposite against pathogenic bacterial strains

GO with –OH, –CHO, –CO, –COOH, and epoxide groups is considered more suitable than other commonly used materials for biomedical applications. The presence of –CO, –CHO, and −OH groups renders the easy functionalization of GO by biomolecules and drugs. Therefore, in this study, we designed a multifun...

Sumario:GO with –OH, –CHO, –CO, –COOH, and epoxide groups is considered more suitable than other commonly used materials for biomedical applications. The presence of –CO, –CHO, and −OH groups renders the easy functionalization of GO by biomolecules and drugs. Therefore, in this study, we designed a multifunctional GO–Fe(3)O(4) nanocomposite and investigated its bactericidal activity against different bacterial strains with an evaluation of percentage inhibition. Our results revealed the potential of GO–Fe(3)O(4) nanocomposites as an effective bactericidal, which can be used for dynamic applications in medical devices and food and other industries.
