Biofilms and the rapid evolution of multidrug resistance complicate the treatment of bacterial infections. Antibiofilm agents such as metallic–inorganic nanoparticles or peptides act by exerting antibacterial effects and, hence, do not combat biofilms of antibiotics-resistant strains. In this Letter...
