There is increasing recognition that the healthcare environment acts as an important reservoir for transmission of healthcare acquired infections (HCAI). One method of reducing environmental contamination would be use of antimicrobial materials. The...

Novel antibacterial silver-silica surface coatings prepared by chemical vapour deposition for infection control (2013)
Journal Article
Varghese, S., Elfakhri, S., Sheel, D., Sheel, P., Bolton, F., & Foster, H. (2013). Novel antibacterial silver-silica surface coatings prepared by chemical vapour deposition for infection control. Journal of Applied Microbiology, 115(5), 1107-1116. https://doi.org/10.1111/jam.12308

Aims: Environmental contamination plays an important role in the
transmission of infections, especially healthcare-associated infections.
Disinfection transiently reduces contamination, but surfaces can rapidly
become re-contaminated. Antimicrobia... Read More about Novel antibacterial silver-silica surface coatings prepared by chemical vapour deposition for infection control.
