Non-stick coating gives biofilms the slip A new class of material has been created that bacteria find incredibly hard to stick to. An estimated 80% of infections acquired in hospitals involve sticky biofilms of bacteria that build up on surfaces and it is challenging is to reduce their growth on medical devices, such as catheters. |
