Copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles have been synthesized using gamma irradiation or ultrasound. The antimicrobial activity of CuO nanoparticles was determined by excavation method in plate culture in three microbial strains: Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853. The initial bacterial concentration was 1x107 CFU / mL and seeded onto Muller Hinton Agar and incubated at 37 °C for 24 h. The CuO nanoparticles obtained by ultrasound are nanospheres with a higher antimicrobial activity for S. aureus than for E. coli and no activity against P. aeruginosa, while CuO nanoparticles obtained by gamma irradiation with a dose of 8 kGy have antimicrobial activity similar to S. aureus and E. coli and those obtained at doses of 15 and 25 kGy only have antimicrobial activity against E. coli.
