چکیده    The aim of this research was to determine the antimicrobial activity of kaolinite modified with antimicrobial compounds against gram positive and gram negative bacteria. copper kaolinite (cu-kaolinite) was prepared by loading raw kaolinite with copper nitrate trihydrate (cuno3) while surfactant modified cu-kaolinite (sm-cu-kaolinite) was prepared by adding cationic surfactants hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium (hdtma) on cu-kaolinite. samples was characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir),x-ray diffraction (xrd),scanning electron microscopy (sem) and energy dispersive x-ray (edx) analyzer. the antimicrobial activity of the samples was tested against gram negative bacteria (escherichia coli atcc 11229 and pseudomonas aeruginosa atcc 15442),and gram positive bacteria (staphylococcus aureus atcc 6538 and enterococcus faecalis atcc 29212) through disc diffusion technique (ddt) and minimum inhibition concentration (mic). the results showed that the antimicrobial activity of cu-kaolinite increased after modified with hdtma due to the synergistic effects of cu ions and hdtma molecules on the kaolinite. the antimicrobial activity for surfactant modified cu-kaolinite was greater for gram positive bacteria compared to gram negative bacteria. in conclusion,the attachment of hdtma on cu-kaolinite contributed to the enhanced antimicrobial activity against wide spectrum of bacteria (gram positive and gram negative bacteria). © 2016 penerbit utm press. all rights reserved.
