Abstract :Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) is one of the most important semiconductors. It has attracted a growing attention in huge applications because of their unique properties. In this present survey we are interesting to investigate the resist growth of TiO 2 thin films with various dopants against gram negative of Escherichia coli bacteria. TiO 2 thin films were deposited on soda lime glass and tissue by two different methods (spray pyrolysis and sol-gel) in order to study their effect on antibacterial activity. We used two processes of bacteria and in the both the results indicate that TiO 2 can resist the growth of E. coli. The zone of inhibition of this bacterium is found between 11 and 17 mm.Keywords : TiO2, E. coli, antibacterial activity
