Abstract

In this research, silver oxide nanoparticles were prepared using the sol-gel method, and measurements were made, namely XRD, FESEM, FTIR and EDX, and the nanoparticles were confirmed, and then these nanoparticles( Ag₂O) were used as a powder against the formation of the biofilm of bacteria ( bacterial adhesion measurement), where five types of bacteria were used (E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeroginosa , P. mirabilis and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia), where these particles showed their effectiveness significantly on the formation of the biofilm of bacteria, especially bacteria Klebsiella pneumoniae at 0.53O.D as well as Pseudomonas 0.4O.D , while bacteria E. coli, P. mirabili and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia showed resistance at different concentrations.
