Inactivation of pathogens from environment and inhibition of biofilm formation on various surfaces are important for biosafety, biosecurity and public health. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) possess antimicrobial effects in addition to their unique optical, electrical, mechanical and thermal properties. This review summarizes the antimicrobial effects of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in suspensions and on CNT contained surfaces. To increase antimicrobial effects, CNT composites containing other antimicrobial reagents are introduced. Also described are the possible antimicrobial mechanisms of CNTs.
