Congratulations to Songmei Wu and co-authors for their publication in the Journal of Nanobiotechnology "Nanostructured surface topographies have an effect on bactericidal activity"
Due to the increased emergence of antimicrobial resistance, alternatives to minimize the usage of antibiotics become attractive solutions. Biophysical manipulation of material surface topography to prevent bacterial adhesion is one promising approach. To this end, it is essential to understand the relationship between surface topographical features and bactericidal properties in order to develop antibacterial surfaces. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12951-018-0347-0
