biostudies-literatureUnknown12(19)Haque SThe ability and potency of bacterial species to form biofilms, which show antibiotic resistance thereby avoiding antibiotic surfaces, is a major cause of prolonged infections. Various advanced approaches have been employed to prevent or damage bacterial biofilms, formed by a variety of bacterial strains, to help prevent the associated infectious disease. In this context, zinc-based nanostructures have been recognized as a potential antibiotic agent against a broad spectrum of bacterial communities. As a result, a sustainable and green synthesis method was adapted in the present study to synthesize a Zn(OH)₂/ZnO-based bionanocomposite, in which aqueous extracts of waste pomegranate peels (<i>Punica granatum)</i> were employed as a natural bioreducing agent to prepare the bionanocNanomaterials (Basel, Switzerland)3458https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9565895biostudies-literatureGreen Synthesis of Zn(OH)₂/ZnO-Based Bionanocomposite using Pomegranate Peels and Its Application in the Degradation of Bacterial Biofilm.PMC9565895Ashgar SSMokhtar JAAbujamel TSHarakeh SAlmuhayawi MSSingh RGupta VKSrivastava NHaque SFaidah HfalseGreen Synthesis of Zn(OH)₂/ZnO-Based Bionanocomposite using Pomegranate Peels and Its Application in the Degradation of Bacterial Biofilm.The ability and potency of bacterial species to form biofilms, which show antibiotic resistance thereby avoiding antibiotic surfaces, is a major cause of prolonged infections.
