Multi-scale surface topography to minimize adherence and viability of nosocomial drug-resistant bacteria

Multi-scale surface topography to minimize adherence and viability of nosocomial drug-resistant bacteria

Toward minimizing bacterial colonization of surfaces, we present a one-step etching technique that renders aluminum alloys with micro- and nano-scale roughness. Such a multi-scale surface topography exhibited enhanced antibacterial effect against a wide range of pathogens. Multi-scale topography of...
