Transfer of AgNPs' Anti-Biofilm Activity into the Nontoxic Polymer Matrix. [PDF]
Polymers (Basel), 2023 A biological method was successfully applied to synthesize spherical silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) while using the extract of lavender (Ex-L) (lat. Lavandula angustifolia) as the reducing and stabilizing agent. The produced nanoparticles were spherical with an average size of 20 nm.

Anti-biofilm activity of silver nanoparticles against different microorganisms [PDF]
Biofouling, 2013 Biofilms confer protection from adverse environmental conditions and can be reservoirs for pathogenic organisms and sources of disease outbreaks, especially in medical devices. The goal of this research was to evaluate the anti-biofilm activities of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) against several microorganisms of clinical interest.

Anti-Biofilm Activity: A Function of Klebsiella pneumoniae Capsular Polysaccharide
PLoS ONE, 2014 Competition and cooperation phenomena occur within highly interactive biofilm communities and several non-biocides molecules produced by microorganisms have been described as impairing biofilm formation. In this study, we investigated the anti-biofilm capacities of an ubiquitous and biofilm producing bacterium, Klebsiella pneumoniae.
