Abstract: 
The present work aims to synthesize Zinc copper Ferrite (ZCF) Nanoparticles (NP’s) by using low cost hydrothermal technique. Afterwards, the prepared ZCF NP’s characterized by various techniques. In this connection, the presence of metal oxide bonds were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Further, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed the presence of cubic spinel structured NP’s with single phase. The average particle and surface morphology is studied by using field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). In addition, the antimicrobial studies carried out against Proteus vulgaris. confirmed that the prepared NP’s exhibit excellent antimicrobial performance against different pathogenic gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
