Gold-, silver- and magnesium-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles prevents the formation of and eradicates bacterial biofilms.

This work aimed to synthesize magnesium-doped zinc oxide, silver and gold nanoparticles (Nps) and to evaluate their potential to prevent and eradicate , , , and biofilms. The Nps were synthesized by precipitation and metallic reduction techniques. Physicochemical and biological characterization of Nps was performed.
