Bacterial adhesion is a threshold event in the formation of biofilms which leads to serious bacterial diseases. This shows that the underlining the problem is interesting and need to solve the problem of biofilm-related complications. To support this, in the present study, we first time initiated to understand the role of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilm using previously developed benzodioxane midst piperazine decorated chitosan silver nanoparticles (BP*C@AgNPs). The BP*C@AgNPs studied for antimicrobial, anti-biofilm, biofilm adherence inhibition, the role of ions in biofilm, and an antibiotic cocktail in the treatment of biofilm was assessed. The results showed that, the significant biocidal role of BP*C@AgNPs in controlling the MRSA biofilm and interaction of biofilm protein to calcium ions were significantly decreased. This confirms that calcium ion involved in the biofilm formation and for the treatment of BP*C@AgNPs, cocktail of enzyme and antibiotic have the promising therapeutic value was observed. In future the locking of biofilm protein and its expression in presence of calcium ion was interesting, and greater application related to biofilm infection was warrantable.
