AB  - Two different morphological forms of graphene nanosheets: improved reduced 
      graphene oxide (IRGO) and modified reduced GO (rGO) (MRGO) have been synthesised 
      by improved and modified methods, respectively. Physical characterisations of 
      these graphene nanosheets were carried out using X-ray diffraction, Fourier 
      transform infrared spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. Colloidal stability of 
      these nanosheets toward a selected bacterium (e.g. Staphylococcus aureus) was 
      ascertained by zeta potential. In the present study, the authors for the first 
      time made an attempt to study and compare the potentialities of these two 
      different forms of graphene nanosheets as efficient bactericidal agents. 
      Field-emission scanning electron microscopy and TEM with energy dispersive X-ray 
      spectroscopy (EDAX) studies of IRGO and MRGO have been carried out to explore 
      their underlying mechanism of antibacterial responses through physical as well as 
      chemical interactions with the selected bacterial species.
