Abstract

Bacterial biofilms can cause problems in various arenas, from the fouling of water processing equipment to persistent in vivo infections. Silver nanoparticles are promising antimicrobial agents with activity against biofilm bacteria. Here we describe the synthesis of antimicrobial silver nanoparticles and the measurement of their antimicrobial activity against E. coli colony biofilms, which is a popular in vitro biofilm model for antibiotic assays.
