Antibacterial activity of silver-loaded zeolite A prepared by a fast microwave-loading method

摘要

Silver ion was loaded into zeolite A by a rapid synthesis method, microwave loading, to obtain an antibacterial agent suitable for use in biological applications. Antibacterial activity of silver-loaded zeolite A against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Staphylococcus aureus was determined by minimum inhibitory concentration, revealing its potential as a strong bactericide.
