Antimicrobial Biomaterials

Antimicrobial biomaterials inhibit colonization and biofilm formation via agent release, contact-active surfaces or antimicrobial coatings. Strategies involve silver or copper ions, antimicrobial peptides, quaternary ammonium compounds or topographic suppression. Key requirements are efficacy against pathogens, biocompatibility, low resistance development and long-term stability in medical settings.
