Antibacterial activity of nano fabricated polypyrrole by cyclic voltammetry

Abstract

The oxidative chemical polymerization of pyrrole was synthesized by cyclic voltammetry in acidic medium using sulfuric acid as an electrolyte at 30 o C. The synthesized polymer was characterized by SEM, and XRD. The activity of the fabricated polymer was evaluated by agar well cut diffusion method against three bacteria: Streptococcus pneumonia (RCMB 010010), Enterococcus faecali (RCMB 010068), and Staphylococcus aureus (RCMB 010028). The polymer exhibited moderate antibacterial activity and significantly not active of antifungal.
