Surface functionalization-dependent localization and affinity of SiO2 nanoparticles within the biofilm EPS matrix

Surface functionalization-dependent localization and affinity of SiO2 nanoparticles within the biofilm EPS matrix

The contribution of the biofilm extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) matrix to reduced antimicrobial susceptibility in biofilms is widely recognised. As such, the direct targeting of the EPS matrix is a promising biofilm control strategy that allows for the disruption of the matrix, thereby allow...
