This study evaluated the bacterial toxicity of lanthanum oxide micron and nano sized particles using shake flask method against gram-positive （Staphylococcus aureus） and gram-negative （Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa） bacteria. Particle size, morphology and chemical composition were determi...
