Hydrogen peroxide as an antibacterial factor in zinc oxide powder slurry
Using four kinds of antibiotics, an investigation was made to determine whether or not H2O2 generated from a ZnO powder slurry was related to its antibacterial activity. Changes in the sensitivity of Escherichia coli to the antibiotics suggested that H2O2 was one of the primary factors concerned in the antibacterial activity of the ZnO powder slurry.
