Online published on 4 June, 2019. Abstract Introduction Biofilm considered a challenge to control infectious bacteria, which encourage to establish an alternative invention treatment to control disease. Application of nanotechnology showed an effective agent to control biofilm producing bacteria. Now a days Magnetised water (MW) raises a significant attention to control infectious disease and improve human health in general. Total of 40 burn swabs collected from burn unit Baghdad hospital were tested. 19 bacterial isolates (Acinetobacter baumannii, streptococcus epidermidis and pseudomonas aeruginosa) were identified by microscopic examination and Vitech system. Firstly, Congo red agar method and Microtitre plate method were performed to assess the effect of Zinc (Zn) and zirconium (Zr) nps on biofilm. A different con. (50, 100, 150 mg/ml) of Zn and Zr nps were investigated. Secondly, 100Ml of magnetic water (MW) (350 gauss/h) to investigate the effect of (MW) on biofilm inhibition using Microtitre plate method. Streptococcus epidermidis has a highly resistance towards a Zn and Zr nps in comparison to Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa While the MW results showed a significant inhibition effect on all bacterial isolates. Due to the raising, a risk of bacterial drug resistance, employing an alternative innovation technology such as nanotechnology and MW might be the near future application to control infectious disease.
