Magnesium Hydroxide Nanoparticles Kill Exponentially Growing and Persister <i>Escherichia coli</i> Cells by Causing Physical Damage

Magnesium hydroxide nanoparticles are widely used in medicinal and hygiene products because of their low toxicity, environment-friendliness, and low cost. Here, we studied the effects of three different sizes of magnesium hydroxide nanoparticles on antibacterial activity: NM80, NM300, and NM700. NM8...
