Abstract

In this work, the effect of Ag-Fau Y zeolite as a material to inhibit the growth of bacteria on cotton fabric was studied. Different concentrations of silver in the culture of E. coli by the Kirby-Bauer Method were explored. The relevance of this work focuses on the growing concern about the resistance that many bacteria present to antibiotics. In this sense, silver particles have exhibited effective antimicrobial properties, moreover, silver nanoparticles display remarkable effect to inhibit the bacterial growth. The developed material could effectively treat the superficial skin wounds by using an appropriate bandage.
