Disclosed herein is a use of Fez-. 0, nanoparticle in inhib iting the spore germination of
Clostridium difficile. The Fe3-804 nanoparticle specifically targets the spores of Clostridium
difficile spores by damaging and breaking the intact structure of the Clostridium difficile
spores. Further, the Fe3-804 nanoparticle possesses superior sporicidal activ ity, as
compared to other known bactericidal nanoparticles. Therefore, the Fez-. 04 nanoparticle of
the disclosure is useful as a bactericide or more specifically, a sporicide to treat Clostridium …
