Biofilms protect bacteria from antibiotics and this can produce drug-resistant strains, especially the main pathogen of periodontitis, Porphyromonas gingivalis . Carbon quantum dots with various biomedical properties are considered to have great application potential in antibacterial and anti-biofilm treatment.
