title: Tailored lysozyme-ZnO nanoparticle conjugates as nanoantibiotics.
abstract: Covalently attached lysozyme-ZnO nanoparticle (L-ZNP) conjugates were synthesized by a low temperature solution route. Tailored L-ZNP conjugates exhibit pronounced antibacterial features against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus).
