Abstract

Thirty Acinetobacter baumanniiwere isolated and identified from different sources. The antibiotic sensitivity test for these bacteria was done against ten antibiotics, showing different high levels of resistance. ZnO particles with thesizes (20 to 520) nm were prepared chemically and used as antibacterial for the most resistible bacterial isolates against ten antibiotics. It was found that the most effective size was 20 nm with the highest inhibition zones.
