Bacterial infections present an enormous problem causing human suffering and cost burdens to healthcare systems worldwide. Here we present novel tunable antibacterial coatings which completely inhibit bacterial colonization by Staphylococcus epidermidis but allow normal adhesion and spreading of osteoblastic cells. The coatings are based on at-nine plasma polymer films loaded with silver nanoparticles. The method of preparation allows flexible control over the amount of loaded silver nanoparticles and the rate of release of silver ions.
