Abstract
Treatment of biofilm-associated infections is challenging, requiring the development of new therapeutic strategies. In this Viewpoint, we discuss the use of nanoparticle-based systems as active therapeutic agents and as vehicles to transport drugs to the site of infection. These applications require understanding of the surface interactions of nanoparticles with bacteria/biofilms, an aspect that we likewise summarize.
