Biofilm Inhibition by Nanoparticles

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Antibiofilm Agents

Part of the book series: Springer Series on Biofilms ((BIOFILMS,volume 8))

Abstract

Infectious diseases are of immediate concern due to their high rate of morbidity and mortality. Infectious diseases are life threatening in the current scenario as the causative agents are resistant to almost all the drugs in use. Apart from well-known factors like efflux pumps, receptor modifications, and drug inactivation, formation of biofilms attributes to broad-spectrum resistance toward antimicrobials. This necessitates the search for novel therapeutics that effectively control drug-resistant pathogens. Targeting biofilm formation is one such strategy to combat infectious diseases much more effectively. For over a decade diverse sources of synthetic to semisynthetic agents derived from microbes to plants have been tested for their antibiofilm potential with limited success. The birth of nanotechnology provided new insights into antibiofilm research as these nanoparticles are highly reactive and effective in penetrating the biofilm matrix. This chapter comprehensively summarizes the synthesis, application, weakness, and antibiofilm potential of nanoparticles.
