  • Antibiotics: Used to treat bacterial infections

  • Antivirals: Used to treat viral infections

  • Antifungals: Used to treat fungal infections

  • Antiparasitics: Used to treat parasitic infections 

Our results support that the rice husk has antimicrobial and antibiofilm properties and could potentially be used in the future in topical solutions or on medical devices to prevent biofilm formation.
