Abstract
In this study carbon nanoparticles were extracted from kitchen soot and characterized by using UV/Visible spectroscopy. Amoxicyline and vibramycin were doped on the carbon nanoparticles by mixing the solutions of the aforementioned antibiotics and carbon nanoparticles and then evaporated to dryness at 50 degrees C. The antibacterial potential of carbon nanoparticle, antibiotics and carbon nanoparticles doped antibiotics were evaluated using Agar tub dilution method against two bacterial strain i.e. P. Aerogunis and Salmonella entrica. The result indicated that the carbon nanoparticle doped antibiotics showed marked increase in the antibacterial potential with inhibition zone of 16.2 mm against P. aerogunisa and 12.5 mm against Salmonela entrica for Vibramycin Doped CNPs. The inhibition zone of Amoxicyline doped carbon nanoparticle is 25.0 mm against P. aerogunisa and 30.0 mm against Salmonela entrica.
