Contamination of biomedical products is a major cause of hospital-acquired infections, and the development of antimicrobial biomaterials and surface structures is crucial to reduce infection risks.
Contamination of biomedical products with pathogenic microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, and viruses) is one of the main causes of hospital-acquired infections (HAI), and a major burden to the healthcare system. The development of biomaterials that can hamper the contamination of surfaces is vital to decrease patient-related infections in healthcare settings. In this landscape, this review identifies some of the latest antimicrobial strategies while paying particular attention to emerging antimicrobial biomaterials and nature-inspired antimicrobial surface topographies, which are rapidly finding application in the fabrication of biomedical engineering constructs.
