Green-synthesized ZnO–MnO nanocomposite as a potent antimicrobial and antibiofilm agent: protein leakage mechanism and synergistic interaction with cefotaxime
Mohammed Aufy
IntroductionMultidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii infection is a major global public health concern due to its rapid emergence and increasing resistance to conventional antimicrobial agents. Therefore, the development of novel and environmentally friendly antimicrobial alternatives is urgently needed.MethodsIn this study, zinc oxide–manganese oxide bimetallic nanocomposite (ZnO–MnO BNC) was successfully synthesized using potato peel extract through a green synthesis approach. The syn
