Abstract

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) functionalization was carried out by using trimethoprim. A comparative study showed that functionalized MWCNTs are more active than trimethoprim. These results are confirmed with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope techniques. Investigation of prepared functionalized MWCNTs with the diameter range performed on three bacterial samples P. aeroginosa, K. pneumoniae and P. mirabilis. The results indicated that only K. pneumoniae was affected by functionalized carbon nanotubes as compared to trimethoprim
