Abstract

The article presents the results of a study of the bactericidal action, as well as the sterility of an antiseptic agent based on silver and zinc nanoparticles. It has been established that the test sample of the antiseptic based on silver and zinc nanoparticles prevents the growth of E. coli at dilutions of 1:10 and 1:100, but does not prevent its growth at a dilution of 1:1000. Thus, the minimum bactericidal concentration of the studied antiseptic is 1:100. However, it is recommended to use this product undiluted.
