Antibacterial Performance of Polydopamine-Modified Polymer Surfaces Containing Passive and Active Components

A growing number of device-related nosocomial infections, elevated hospitalization costs, and patient morbidity necessitate the development of novel antibacterial strategies for clinical devices. We have previously demonstrated a simple, aqueous polydopamine dip-coating method to functionalize surfa...
