A collection of 2‐aminoimidazole/triazole amides has been synthesized and screened for antibiofilm activity. This class of small molecules was found to modulate the biofilm activity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa , a multidrug‐resistant strain of Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRAB), a methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus strain (MRSA), Escherichia coli , Rhodospirillum salexigens , Staphylococcus epidermidis , Vibrio vulnificus , and vancomycin‐resistant Enterococcus faecium as well as the yeast Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans . Furthermore, lead compounds were found to not lyse red blood cells at active concentrations.
