In this work, our goal was to study the capability of a single metallic oxide to neutralize a
chemical agent and to exhibit an antibacterial effect. We tested two types of magnesium …

For several years, the international context is deeply affected by the use of chemical and
biological weapons. The use of CBRN (Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear) threat …

Reactive magnesium oxide nanoparticles and halogen (Cl2, Br2) adducts of these MgO
particles were allowed to contact certain bacteria and spore cells. Bacteriological test data …

The toxicity of metal oxide nanomaterials and their antimicrobial activity is attracting
increasing attention. Among these materials, MgO is particularly interesting as a low cost …

The ever-increasing resistance of pathogens towards antibiotics has resulted in the
development of novel antibacterial materials. In this work, magnesium oxide nanoparticles …

The exact mechanism behind the antibacterial efficacy of nanoparticles has remained
unexplored to date. This study aims to shed light the mechanism adopted using magnesium …

Bacterial pollution is a great risk for human health. Nanotechnology offers a way to develop
