Antimicrobial "smart" surfaces are a potential method to reduce microbial contamination of surfaces in healthcare, and to combat the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance. These surfaces could reduce microbial attachment, actively destroy microbes, and disrupt the microbial habitat. What sorts of surfaces are effective, and how do they work? How can the latest molecular science and engineering solutions for antimicrobial surfaces be exploited, whilst considering costs for manufacture, distribution and use?
