Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the fatal biofilm‐forming pathogens which pose to be a problem in clinical infections, contamination of food and marine ecosystems. In this report, a naphthoquinone–plumbagin has been explored for its antimicrobial (antibacterial and antibiofilm) activity against P. aeruginosa biofilm. The ability of plumbagin to enhance the bioactivity of a known broad‐spectrum antibiotic was further assayed by combining the sub‐MIC doses of plumbagin with sub‐MIC doses of gentamicin against P. aeruginosa biofilm.
