Composite nanoparticles of different composition can be obtained by electrical explosion of two wires. The antibacterial activity of oxide composite nanoparticles exceeds the activity of monoxide nanoparticles by 3e4 times. Minimal inhibition concentration of MRSA of Zn55Cu45/O and Zn55Ag45/ O nanoparticles is 250 mg/ml.
