Nanostructured materials have wide range of applications due to their interesting size dependent physical, structural and biological properties. Among all nanoparticles, the metallic one have applications in diverse areas such as cosmetics, coating, electronics, packaging and biotechnology. Recently, nanotechnology has been demonstrated to be a promising application to overcome the problem of antibiotic resistance. Pure and Mn doped Cadmium oxide nanoparticles were prepared by chemical precipitation technique. The structural, compositional and optical properties have been examined by X-ray diffractometer, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Ultraviolet - visible Spectrophotometer, Photo Luminescence Spectrometer, and Scanning Electron Microscope. Antibacterial activity of the pure and Mn doped Cadmium oxide nanoparticles were investigated against several pathogenic bacteria and the results showed that pure and Mn doped Cadmium oxide nanoparticles had inhibitory effect against all pathogenic bacteria with inhibition zone.
