Abstract
Looking for strategies against the development of antibiotic resistance is a major global
object of interest for the public health. This work deals with synthesis of antimicrobial composites
of graphene oxide (GO) with metal nanoparticles. GO has been prepared by modified Hummers'
method and characterized using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared
spectroscopy (FT-IR) and differential pulse voltammetry. Composites of GO have been synthetized
with silve nanoparticles, which have been characterized. Potential antimicrobial activity
of the nanocomposites was tested against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and methicilin
resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
