Biologically synthesized silver nanoparticles, mediated by Bothriochloa laguroides, inhibit biofilm formation and eradicate mature biofilm of Yersinia enterocolitica and Staphylococcus aureus.

Aims: To phytosynthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and determine their antibacterial and antibiofilm capacity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial strains.

Methods And Results: AgNPs were synthesized using Bothriochloa laguroides aqueous extract as reducing and stabilizing agent. After characterization, a phytochemical screening to the extract and the AgNPs was performed.
