Bacterial biofilms provoke and/or promote the most chronic and recurrent infectious diseases. Previously, experimental models of purulent peritonitis and meningoencephalitis revealed positive antibiofilm effect of metallic nanoparticles and the absence of resistance against such nanoparticles in microorganisms. This study examines
