Application of Fe3O4 NPs
What is Iron Oxide?Iron oxide nanoparticles are magnetic as well as paramagnetic. It has been found that the utilization of an alternating magnetic field improves the bactericidal activity of Fe3O4 NPs against S. epidermidis, P. mirabilis, and A. baumannii. The cell death and biofilm disintegration were caused by photocatalytic ROS production, and local heat and vibration damage were caused by magnetic fields. All of the circumstances mentioned above cause bacteria to separate from the biofilm a
