Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="ppsc201570024-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>The antibacterial and antibiofilm properties of diamond nanoparticles are shown by A. Siriwardena, P. J. Cragg, S. Szunerits, and co‐workers to be both bacterium‐ and ligand‐dependent. On page 822, S. <italic>aureus</italic>‐induced biofilm inhibition is observed for ND‐NH₂, ND‐COOH, and ND‐OH particles, but proves only moderate even at the highest particle concentrations tested. ND‐NH₂ and ND‐COOH, however, are found to inhibit <italic>E. coli</italic>‐induced biofilm formation at levels comparable to the known <italic>E. coli</italic> biofilm disruptor, ampicillin. <graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj2f6z66nr" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></p> </abstract>
