ABSTRACT

Urinary tract infections has been a common amongst all nosocomial infections. Indwelling catheters pose greater vulnerability of to the patients to suffer or get imposed to Urinary tract infections. Nanoparticles have imposed varied and specific antibacterial effects in several patients. Considering this thought the research was preceded for phyto amalgamation Zinc Oxide Nanoparticle. Catheters with Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles may prevent the upcoming risk of contamination through microbes and associated infections. The antibacterial effects of Zinc nanoparticles was therefore studied and was found that 22 mm of ZOI for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 17 mm for K. pneumoniae 15 mm. The minimum inhibitory concentration ranged from 150 micrograms/ml to 250 microgram/ml. The zinc oxide nanoparticles were phyto amalgamated and were characterized to be of size 50-100 nm. Keywords: Urinary Tract Infections, Zinc Oxide nanoparticles, Phyto – amalgamation
