Silver‐doped titania nanoparticles (see image) in specific concentrations show a higher efficacy than pure silver nanoparticles towards the inhibition and annihilation of E. coli bacteria. The doped titania particles are synthesized via a sol–gel method. Antibacterial studies of the silver‐doped titania particles in both a liquid‐nutrient growth medium and on agar plates are shown; this approach may offer a simple low‐cost method for fabricating antibacterial surfaces.
