Some research works are achieved this by synthesizing different metal doped manganese oxide nanoparticles. But i could not find more details about antimicrobial activity of manganese oxide NPs alone. (If possible, please attach references also..)

Antimicrobial activity of the metals and metal oxide nanoparticles.
Dear sir, Thank you very much for your valuable suggestion and references.

Dear Dr. Haneefa-N:
The interaction of manganese, Mn, with bacterial group is classic, see links:

In the same way, the antimicrobial or antibacterial action of manganese oxide is also reported, see link, note application of MnO2 variety:

Also, another varieties of manganese oxides should be further considered, depending on the valence state of manganese. In this sense, Mn3O4 variety exhibits interesting potential, see link:
