ZnO nanoparticles induced biofilm formation in Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus at sub-inhibitory concentrations

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Biofilm formation by pathogenic bacteria generates a serious threat to the public health as it can increase the virulence potential, resistance to drugs and escape from host immune response mechanisms. Among the environmental factors that influence the biofilm formation, there are only limited reports available on the role of antimicrobial agents. During the antimicrobial drug administr...
