Fig 12

1) AgNPs has electrostatic interaction with the cells and disturb the biofilm formation; 2) AgNPs target the eDNA to eliminate bacterial biofilm; 3) AgNPs degrade the EPS formation and breaks the biofilm mat; 4) AgNPs inhibits the signal produced by the bacteria, thereby inhibiting the biofilm formation; 5) interact with the small regulatory RNA and extracellular protein to inhibit the biofilm.
