%X Nanocrystalline SnO<sub>2</sub> and CuO doped with SnO<sub>2</sub> were prepared by the co-precipitation method and characterized for different physiochemical properties and microbiological activity. The composition and morphological formation were characterized by XRD, HRTEM, Raman, FTIR, and UV-vis spectroscopy. The Powder X-ray analysis reveals that Sn4+ ions have substituted the Cu<sup>2+</sup> ions without changing the monoclinic structure of SnO<sub>2</sub> but the average particle size of the SnO<sub>2</sub> and CuO doped SnO<sub>2</sub> samples from 11 and 5 nm respectively. However, it exhibits an inhibiting strong bacterial growth against tested bacterial strains.
