Overview

This review discusses antimicrobial coatings' effectiveness against healthcare-associated infections, highlighting gaps in disinfection methods.

Key Points

  • Light-activated antimicrobial nanocoatings offer a self-disinfection alternative to traditional cleaning methods, enhancing surface safety.
  • Common surfaces in healthcare settings play a critical role in HAI transmission, necessitating innovative disinfection solutions.
  • The review evaluates titanium oxide nanoparticles for formulating effective photo-responsive coatings to combat pathogen contamination.
  • Emerging technologies in antimicrobial coatings may address existing limitations in non-critical disinfection strategies and reduce infection risks.
