Abstract
Using four kinds of antibiotics, an investigation was made to determine whe ther or not H2O2 generated from a ZnO powder slurry was related to its anti bacterial activity. Changes in the sensitivity of Escherichia coli to the a ntibiotics suggested that H2O2 was one of the primary factors concerned in the antibacterial activity of the ZnO powder slurry.
