Engineered magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles with surprisingly high antimicrobial activity and excellent safety profiles to mammalian cell lines have been developed. Hematite hollow nanospheres (HNSs) are prepared by a facile hard templating method; reduction of hematite HNSs by H-2 leads to magnetite HNSs. The antimicrobial activity of magnetite HNSs towards Gram negative (Escherichia coli) and Gram positive (Staphylococcus epidermidis) bacteria is evaluated against hematite HNSs and conventional magnetite (C-magnetite; diameter
