Effect of Silver Nitrate and Silver Nanoparticles on Biofilm Formation in Staphylococcus Aureus

Biofilms have become a major issue in different spheres of medicine and industry. Source of the issue revolves around increasing resistance of microorganisms towards conventional antibiotics which is even more elevated within biofilms that are difficult to eradicate by means of biocides and antibiotics. Multiple approaches were applied to deal with this issue amongst which green nanotechnology gave promising results and the search for molecules that “freeze bacteria” in the planktonic state. Since silver was used as an antimicrobial agent since ancient times. Considering this a study which deals with the effect of sub-inhibitory concentrations of silver nitrate and silver nanoparticles on biofilm forming capacity of bacteria would yield valuable information to evaluate the effect these substances have on the phenotypical expression of biofilm formation in bacteria as potential biofilm gene expression
