Abstract
Scientists have recently focused the nanoparticle due to their potent antimicrobial activity. The increasing resistance to antibiotics related to microbial biofilms creates an urgent need to find out an alternative and active antibiofilm agent. Moreover, the antibiofilm property of the AgNPs and AuNPs can be exploited in medical devices to avert microbial colonization. Therefore, the present protocol focuses to assess the significant antibiofilm activity toward pathogenic microbes using the synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), since it reflects its possibility to use in the biomedical field.
