Fig. 1.

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of (I, ZnO), (ii, Fe2O3), (iii, MgO).

Fig. 2.

Comparison of zones of inhibitions (mm) expressed by different nanoparticles (Zinc oxide, Magnesium oxide, and Ferric oxide). Different superscripts among nanoparticles indicate significant differences.

Fig. 3.
Comparison of MICs (mg/mL) among incubation periods (h) for each metallic oxide nanoparticle.
A, MIC of ZnO nanoparticle at different time intervals; B, MIC of MgO nanoparticle at different time intervals; C, MIC of Fe2O3 nanoparticle at different time intervals. NB, Different superscripts among different time intervals of incubations (4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24th h) indicate significant differences (p<0.05).
