Abstract
MTCC 3160 by 60.09, 64.14, and 48.30%, respectively. The findings demonstrate the efficacy of green synthesized titanium dioxide nanoparticles in inhibiting and eradicating the biofilms of bacterial pathogens and they may be further exploited for the development of a new alternative antibiofilm agent.
