Effect of Size and Concentration of Copper Nanoparticles on the Antimicrobial Activity in <i>Escherichia coli</i> through Multiple Mechanisms

Metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, including copper nanoparticles (CuNPs), display antimicrobial activities and are regarded as promising microorganism inhibitors. Here, we explored the antimicrobial activity of CuNPs in <i>Escherichia coli</i> (<i>E. coli</i>) using two pa...
