Abstract
Implant-associated infections present a significant clinical obstacle for orthopedic practitioners, with bacterial biofilm formation serving as a pivotal factor in the initiation, progression, and management of such infections. Conventional approaches have proven inadequate in fully eradicating biofilm-related infections. Consequently, novel material-based therapeutic strategies have been developed, encompassing the utilization of antimicrobial agents, delivery vehicles, and synergistic antibacterial systems. In this review, we provide a succinct overview of recent advancements in anti-biofilm strategies, with the aim of offering insights that may aid in the treatment of intraosseous implant infections.

Abstract
Due to the resistance of some bacteria to antibiotics, research in the field of dealing with bacterial infections is necessary. A practical approach utilized in this study involves the preparation of an antibacterial thin film on the surfaces, which can effectively inhibit and reduce biofilm formation and bacterial adherence. In this study, we report the fabrication of bactericidal titanium (Ti) and copper (Cu) surfaces which involves a powerful co-sputtering method. This method provides a situation in which constituent elements are deposited simultaneously to control the composition of the thin film. Prepared samples were examined by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and contact angle measurements. To evaluate antibacterial behavior, we used two bacterial strains Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Antibacterial activity of the prepared sample was assessed by determining the number of colony-forming units per milliliter (CFU/ml) using a standard viable cell count assay. Results indicated that as the Cu concentration increased, the nanoscale surfaces became rougher, with roughness values rising from 11.85 to 49.65 nm, and the contact angle increased from 40 to 80 degrees, indicating a hydrophilic character. These factors play a significant role in the antibacterial properties of the surface. The Ti-Cu films displayed superior antibacterial ability, with a 99.9% reduction (equivalent to a 5-log reduction) in bacterial viability after 2 h compared to Ti alone against both bacterial strains. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) images verified that both E. coli and S. aureus cells were physically deformed and damaged the bacterial cell ultrastructure was observed. These findings highlight that adding Cu to Ti can improve the antibacterial ability of the surface while inhibiting bacterial adherence. Therefore, the Ti14-Cu86 sample with the highest percentage of Cu had the best bactericidal rate. Investigation of toxicity of Cu-Ti thin films was conducted the using the MTT assay, which revealed their biocompatibility and absence of cytotoxicity, further confirming their potential as promising biomaterials for various applications.

Abstract
Bacterial colonization and biofilm formation are found on nearly all wet surfaces, representing a serious problem for both human healthcare and industrial applications, where traditional treatments may not be effective. Herein, we describe a synergistic approach for improving the performance of antibacterial surfaces based on microstructured surfaces that embed titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs). The surfaces were designed to enhance bacteria entrapment, facilitating their subsequent eradication by a combination of UVC disinfection and TiO2 NPs photocatalysis. The efficacy of the engineered TiO2-modified microtopographic surfaces was evaluated using three different designs, and it was found that S2-lozenge and S3-square patterns had a higher concentration of trapped bacteria, with increases of 70 and 76%, respectively, compared to flat surfaces. Importantly, these surfaces showed a significant reduction (99%) of viable bacteria after just 30 min of irradiation with UVC 254 nm light at low intensity, being sixfold more effective than flat surfaces. Overall, our results showed that the synergistic effect of combining microstructured capturing surfaces with the chemical functionality of TiO2 NPs paves the way for developing innovative and efficient antibacterial surfaces with numerous potential applications in the healthcare and biotechnology market.

Abstract
Since the discovery that nanostructured surfaces were able to kill bacteria, many works have been published focusing on the design of nanopatterned surfaces with antimicrobial properties. Synthetic bone grafts, based on calcium phosphate (CaP) formulations, can greatly benefit from this discovery if adequate nanotopographies can be developed. However, CaP are reactive materials and experience ionic exchanges when placed into aqueous solutions which may in turn affect cell behaviour and complicate the interpretation of the bactericidal results. The present study explores the bactericidal potential of two nanopillared CaP prepared by hydrolysis of two different sizes of α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) powders under biomimetic or hydrothermal conditions. A more lethal bactericidal response toward Pseudomonas aeruginosa (~75% killing efficiency of adhered bacteria) was obtained from the hydrothermally treated CaP which consisted in a more irregular topography in terms of pillar size (radius: 20-60 nm), interpillar distances (100-1500 nm) and pillar distribution (pillar groups forming bouquets) than the biomimetically treated one (radius: 20-40 nm and interpillar distances: 50-200 nm with a homogeneous pillar distribution). The material reactivity was greatly influenced by the type of medium (nutrient-rich versus nutrient-free) and the presence or not of bacteria. A lower reactivity and superior bacterial attachment were observed in the nutrient-free medium while a lower attachment was observed for the nutrient rich medium which was explained by a superior reactivity of the material paired with the lower tendency of planktonic bacteria to adhere on surfaces in the presence of nutrients. Importantly, the ionic exchanges produced by the presence of materials were not toxic to planktonic cells. Thus, we can conclude that topography was the main contributor to mortality in the bacterial adhesion tests.

Abstract
Light-triggered antibacterial therapy has been proven to be a secure and effective way to treat bacterial infection. Nevertheless, the long-term security of the common photosensitizer remains to be seen in the body. In this work, carbon dots (CDs) with good biocompatibility are incorporated into TiO2 nanorods to improve the photocatalytic and photothermal ability of titanium implants under the irradiation of visible light (VL) and near-infrared (NIR) light. The C-TiO2 NR exhibit excellent in vitro and in vivo antimicrobial effect under 660 nm VL and 808 nm NIR light co-irradiation owing to the combined effect of hyperthermia, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nanorod structure. Besides, C-TiO2 NR can improve the adhesion and diffusion of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs).

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), a novel cancer therapeutic strategy defined as the treatment using Fenton or Fenton-like reaction to produce •OH in the tumor region, was first proposed by Bu, Shi, and co-workers in 2016. Recently, with the rapid development of Fenton and Fenton-like nanomaterials, CDT has attracted tremendous attention because of its unique advantages: 1) It is tumor-selective with low side effects; 2) the CDT process does not depend on external field stimulation; 3) it can modulate the hypoxic and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment; 4) the treatment cost of CDT is low. In addition to the Fe-involved CDT strategies, the Fenton-like reaction-mediated CDT strategies have also been proposed, which are based on many other metal elements including copper, manganese, cobalt, titanium, vanadium, palladium, silver, molybdenum, ruthenium, tungsten, cerium, and zinc. Moreover, CDT has been combined with other therapies like chemotherapy, radiotherapy, phototherapy, sonodynamic therapy, and immunotherapy for achieving enhanced anticancer effects. Besides, there have also been studies that extend the application of CDT to the antibacterial field. This review introduces the latest advancements in the nanomaterials-involved CDT from 2018 to the present and proposes the current limitations as well as future research directions in the related field.

Abstract
Several marine bacteria of the Roseobacter group can inhibit other microorganisms and are especially antagonistic when growing in biofilms. This aptitude to naturally compete with other bacteria can reduce the need for antibiotics in large-scale aquaculture units, provided that their culture can be promoted and controlled. Micropatterned surfaces may facilitate and promote the biofilm formation of species from the Roseobacter group, due to the increased contact between the cells and the surface material. Our research goal is to fabricate biofilm-optimal micropatterned surfaces and investigate the relevant length scales for surface topographies that can promote the growth and biofilm formation of the Roseobacter group of bacteria. In a preliminary study, silicon surfaces comprising arrays of pillars and pits with different periodicities, diameters, and depths were produced by UV lithography and deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) on polished silicon wafers. The resulting surface microscale topologies were characterized via optical profilometry and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Screening of the bacterial biofilm on the patterned surfaces was performed using green fluorescent staining (SYBR green I) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Our results indicate that there is a correlation between the surface morphology and the spatial organization of the bacterial biofilm.

Abstract
We investigate the power densities which are obtainable locally in a vibration bioreactor. These reactor systems are of great relevance for research about oncological or antibacterial therapies. Our focus lies on the local liquid pressure caused by resonance vibration in the fluid contained by the reactor's petri dish. We use for the excitation one piezoelectric patch which offer advantages concerning controllability and reproducibility, when compared to ultrasound. The experimental work is extended by finite element analyses of bioreactor details. The peaks of the vibration response for water, sodium chloride (0.1N Standard solution), and McCoy's 5A culture medium are in good alignment. Several natural frequencies can be observed. Local power density can reach multiple times the magnitude used in ultrasound studies. Based on the observed local power densities, we are planning future work for the exposure of cell cultures to mechanical vibration.

Abstract
Multidrug resistant bacteria are a global threat for human and animal health. However, they are only part of the problem of antibiotic failure. Another bacterial strategy that contributes to their capacity to withstand antimicrobials is the formation of biofilms. Biofilms are associations of microorganisms embedded a self-produced extracellular matrix. They create particular environments that confer bacterial tolerance and resistance to antibiotics by different mechanisms that depend upon factors such as biofilm composition, architecture, the stage of biofilm development, and growth conditions. The biofilm structure hinders the penetration of antibiotics and may prevent the accumulation of bactericidal concentrations throughout the entire biofilm. In addition, gradients of dispersion of nutrients and oxygen within the biofilm generate different metabolic states of individual cells and favor the development of antibiotic tolerance and bacterial persistence. Furthermore, antimicrobial resistance may develop within biofilms through a variety of mechanisms. The expression of efflux pumps may be induced in various parts of the biofilm and the mutation frequency is induced, while the presence of extracellular DNA and the close contact between cells favor horizontal gene transfer. A deep understanding of the mechanisms by which biofilms cause tolerance/resistance to antibiotics helps to develop novel strategies to fight these infections.

Abstract
Various nanostructured surfaces have been developed recently to physically inactivate bacteria, for reducing the rapidly spreading threat of pathogenic bacteria. However, it generally takes several hours for these surfaces to inactivate most of the bacteria, which greatly limits their application in the fields favoring rapid bactericidal performance. Besides, the accumulated bacteria debris left on these surfaces is rarely discussed in the previous reports. Herein we report the nanotip-engineered ZnO nanoarrays (NAs) with ultrafast physical bactericidal rate and the ability to photocatalytically remove the bacteria debris. Neither chemical (Zn2+ or reactive oxygen species) nor photocatalytic effect leads to the ultrafast bactericidal rate, where 97.5% of E. coli and 94.9% of S. aureus are inactivated within only 1 min. The simulation analysis further supported our proposed mechanism attributing the ultrafast bactericidal activity to the great stress enabled by the uneven topography. Moreover, the re-exposure of the ZnO NAs nanotips can be achieved in only 10 min under a mild UV light source. This study not only presents an ultrafast physical bactericidal activity, but also demonstrates the potential of the recyclable and photocatalytic self-cleaning functions of theses surfaces for applications that desire rapid and sustainable bactericidal performance.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive biointerfaces can serve as dynamic tools for modulation of biointerfacial interactions. Considering the complexity of biological environments, surfaces with multistimulus responsive switchable bioactivity are of great interest. In the work reported herein, a multistimulus responsive biointerface with on-off switchable bioadhesion (protein adsorption, bacterial adhesion, and cell adhesion) and surface functions in response to change in temperature, pH, or sugar content is developed. This surface is based on a silicon modified with a copolymer containing a thermoresponsive component (poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)) and a component, phenylboronic acid, that can form pH-responsive and sugar-responsive dynamic boronate ester bonds with diol-containing molecules. It is shown that biointeractions including protein adsorption and release, bacteria and cell attachment and detachment on this surface can be regulated by changing temperature, pH, and sugar content of the medium, either individually or all three simultaneously. Furthermore, this surface can switch between two different functions, namely between killing and releasing bacteria, by introduction of a diol-containing biocidal compound. Compared to switchable surfaces that are responsive to only one stimulus, our multistimulus responsive surface is better adapted to respond to the multifunctional complexities of the biological environment and thus has potential for use in numerous biomedical and biotechnology applications.

Abstract
Background: Titanium (Ti) implant-associated infection, which is mostly caused by bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation, may result in implant failure and secondary surgery. Thus it is an urgent issue to prevent bacterial infections at the earliest step. Purpose: To develop a novel surface strategy of polydopamine (PDA) and silver (Ag) nanoparticle-loaded TiO2 nanorods (NRDs) coatings on Ti alloy. Materials and methods: Ag-TiO2@PDA NRDs was fabricated on Ti alloy by hydrothermal synthesis. The antibacterial activity of Ag-TiO2@PDA NRDs against Escherichia coli and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus were tested by FE-SEM, Live/Dead staining, zone of inhibition, bacteria counting method and protein leakage analysis in vitro. In addition, an implant infection model was conducted and the samples were tested by X-ray, Micro-CT and histological analysis in vivo. Besides, cell morphology and cytotoxicity of Mouse calvarial cells (MC3T3-E1) were characterized by FE-SEM, immunofluorescence and CCK-8 test in vitro. Results: Our study successfully developed a new surface coating of Ag-TiO2@PDA NRDs. The selective physical puncture of bacteria and controlled release of Ag+ ions of Ag-TiO2@PDA NRDs achieved a long-lasting bactericidal ability and anti-biofilm activity with satisfied biocompatibility. Conclusion: This strategy may be promising for clinical applications to reduce the occurrence of infection in the implant surgeries

Abstract
Bacterial attachment to material surfaces can lead to the development of biofilms that cause severe economic and health problems. The outcome of bacterial attachment is determined by a combination of bacterial sensing of material surfaces by the cell and the physicochemical factors in the near-surface environment. This paper offers a systematic review of the effects of surface topography on a range of antifouling mechanisms, with a focus on how topographical scale, from micro- to nanoscale, may influence bacterial sensing of and attachment to material surfaces. A good understanding of these mechanisms can facilitate the development of antifouling surfaces based on surface topography, with applications in various sectors of human life and activity including healthcare, food, and water treatment.

Abstract
In order to reduce the widespread threat of bacterial pathogen diseases, mechanical bactericidal surfaces have been widely reported. However, few of these nanostructured surfaces were investigated from a sustainable perspective. In this study, we have prepared, inspired by the slippery zone of Nepenthes, a multifunctional nanostructured surface with mechanical bactericidal, self-cleaning and insect anti-adhesive characteristics. First, a nanoblade-like surface made of Zn–Al layered double hydroxides was prepared for achieving faster bactericidal rate and wider bactericidal spectrum (2.10 × 104 CFU cm−2 min−1 against Escherichia coli and 1.78 × 103 CFU cm−2 min−1 against Staphylococcus aureus). Then the self-cleaning and insect anti-adhesive properties were tested on the fluorosilane-modified nanoblades, leaving little cell debris remaining on the surface even after 4 continuous bactericidal experiments, and showing a slippery surface for ants to slide down in 3 s. This study not only discovers a new nature-inspired mechanical bactericidal nanotopography, but also provides a facile approach to incorporate multiple functions into the nanostructured surface for practical antibacterial applications. Inspired by the slippery zone of Nepenthes, we fabricated a multifunctional blade like nanostructured surface with the same mechanical bactericidal, self-cleaning and insect anti-adhesive characteristics.![]()

Abstract
Microbial contamination and biofilm formation of medical devices is a major issue associated with medical complications and increased costs. Consequently, there is a growing need for novel strategies and exploitation of nanoscience-based technologies to reduce the interaction of bacteria and microbes with synthetic surfaces. This article focuses on surfaces that are nanostructured, have functional coatings, and generate or release antimicrobial compounds, including "smart surfaces" producing antibiotics on demand. Key requirements for successful antimicrobial surfaces including biocompatibility, mechanical stability, durability, and efficiency are discussed and illustrated with examples of the recent literature. Various nanoscience-based technologies are described along with new concepts, their advantages, and remaining open questions. Although at an early stage of research, nanoscience-based strategies for creating antimicrobial surfaces have the advantage of acting at the molecular level, potentially making them more efficient under specific conditions. Moreover, the interface can be fine tuned and specific interactions that depend on the location of the device can be addressed. Finally, remaining important challenges are identified: improvement of the efficacy for long-term use, extension of the application range to a large spectrum of bacteria, standardized evaluation assays, and combination of passive and active approaches in a single surface to produce multifunctional surfaces.

Abstract
Surface nanopatterning of metals has been an effective technique for improved performance and functionalization. However, it is of great challenge to fabricate nanostructure on carbon steels despite their extensive use and urgent needs to maintain the performance reliability and durability. Here, we report a one-step anodization technique to nanopattern a carbon steel in 50 wt.% NaOH solution for highly effective anti-adhesion by sulphate reducing bacteria (SRB), i.e., Desulfovibrio desulfuricans subsp. desulfuricans (Beijerinck) Kluyver and van Niel. We characterize the morphology, structure, composition, and surface roughness of the nanostructured film formed on the steel as a function of anodizing potential. We quantify the surface hydrophobicity by contact angle measurements, and the SRB adhesion by fluorescent analysis. The optimal anodization potential of 2.0 V is determined for the best performance of anti-adhesion of SRB to the steel, resulting in a 23.5 times of reduction of SRB adhesion compared to bare steel. We discuss the mechanisms for the film formation on the steel during anodization, and the high-performance anti-adhesion of bacteria to nanopatterned steels. Our technique is simple, cost-effective and environment-friendly, providing a promising alternative for industry-scale surface nanopatterning of carbon steels for effective controlling of bacterial adhesion.

Abstract
Antifouling polymeric films can prevent undesirable adhesion of bacteria but are prone to accidental scratches, leading to a loss of their antifouling functions. To solve this problem, we report the fabrication of healable antifouling polymeric films by layer-by-layer assembly of partially hydrolyzed poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (PEtOx-EI-7%) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) based on hydrogen-bonding interaction as the driving force. The thermally cross-linked (PAA/PEtOx-EI-7%)*100 films show strong resistance to adhesion of both Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis bacteria due to the high surface and bulk concentration of the antifouling polymer PEtOx-EI-7%. Meanwhile, the dynamic nature of the hydrogen-bonding interactions and the high mobility of the polymers in the presence of water enable repeated healing of cuts of several tens of micrometers wide in cross-linked (PAA/PEtOx-EI-7%)*100 films to fully restore their antifouling function.

Abstract
Surfaces having dynamic control of interactions at the biological system-material interface are of great scientific and technological interest. In this work, a supramolecular platform with switchable multivalent affinity was developed to efficiently capture bacteria and on-demand release captured bacteria in response to irradiation with light of different wavelengths. The system consists of a photoresponsive self-assembled monolayer containing azobenzene (Azo) groups as guest and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD)-mannose (CD-M) conjugates as host with each CD-M containing seven mannose units to display localized multivalent carbohydrates. Taking the advantage of multivalent effect of CD-M, this system exhibited high capacity and specificity for the capture of mannose-specific type 1-fimbriated bacteria. Moreover, ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation caused isomerization of the Azo groups from trans-form to cis-form, resulting in the dissociation of the host-guest Azo/CD-M inclusion complexes and localized release of the captured bacteria. The capture and release process could be repeated for multiple cycles, suggesting good reproducibility. This platform provides the basis for development of reusable biosensors and diagnostic devices for the detection and measurement of bacteria and exhibits great potential for use as a standard protocol for the on-demand switching of surface functionalities.

Abstract
Anti-biofouling surfaces are of high importance owing to their crucial roles in biosensors, biomedical devices, food processing, the marine industry, etc. However, traditional anti-biofouling surfaces based on either the release of biocidal compounds or surface chemical/physical design cannot satisfy the practical demands when meeting real-world complex conditions. The outstanding performances of natural anti-biofouling surfaces motivate the development of new bioinspired anti-biofouling surfaces. Herein, a novel strategy is proposed for rationally designing bioinspired anti-biofouling surfaces based on superwettability. By utilizing the trapped air cushions or liquid layers, Lotus leaf inspired superhydrophobic surfaces, fish scales inspired underwater superoleophobic surfaces, and Nepenthes pitcher plants inspired omniphobic slippery surfaces have been successfully designed as anti-biofouling surfaces to effectively resist proteins, bacteria, cells, and marine organisms. It is believed that these novel superwettability-based anti-biofouling surfaces will bring a new era to both biomedical technology and the marine industry, and will greatly benefit human health and daily life in the near future.

Abstract
Restoring large-scale bone defects, where osteogenesis is slow while infections lurk, with biomaterials represents a formidable challenge in orthopedic clinics. Here, we propose a scaffold-based multipurpose anti-infection and bone repairing strategy to meet such restorative needs. To do this, personalized multifunctional titanium meshes were produced through an advanced additive manufacturing process and dual "TiO2-poly(dopamine)/Ag (nano)" post modifications, yielding macroporous constructs with micro-/nanoporous walls and nanosilver bullets immobilized/embedded therein. Ultrahigh loading capacity and durable release of Ag+ were accomplished. The scaffolds were active against planktonic/adherent bacteria (Gram-negative and positive) for up to 12 weeks. Additionally, they not only defended themselves from biofilm colonization but also helped destroy existing biofilms, especially in combination with antibiotics. Further, the osteoblasts/bacteria coculture study displayed that the engineered surfaces aided MG-63 cells to combat bacterial invasion. Meanwhile, the scaffolds elicited generally acceptable biocompatibility (cell adhesion, proliferation, and viability) and hastened osteoblast differentiation and maturation (alkaline phosphatase production, matrix secretion, and calcification), by synergy of micro-/nanoscale topological cues and bioactive catecholamine chemistry. Although done ex vivo, these studies reveal that our three-in-one strategy (infection prophylaxis, infection fighting, and bone repair) has great potential to simultaneously prevent/combat infections and bridge defected bone. This work provides new thoughts to the use of enabling technologies to design biomaterials that resolve unmet clinical needs.

Abstract
Bringing multifunctional graphene out of solution through facile self-assembly to form 2D surface nanostructures, with control over the lateral size and surface properties, would be an intriguing accomplishment, especially in biomedical fields where biointerfaces with functional diversity are in high demand. Guided by this goal, in this work, we built such graphene-based self-assemblies on orthopedic titanium, attempting to selectively regulate bacterial activities and osteoblastic functions, which are both crucial in bone regeneration. Briefly, large-area graphene oxide (GO) sheets and functionalized reduced GO (rGO) micro-/nanosheets were self-assembled spontaneously and controllably onto solid Ti, through an evaporation-assisted electrostatic assembly process and a mussel-inspired one-pot assembly process, respectively. The resultant layers were characterized in terms of topological structure, chemical composition, hydrophilicity, and protein adsorption properties. The antibacterial efficacies of the assemblies were examined by challenging them with pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteria that produce biofilms, whereby around 50% antiadhesion effects and considerable antibiofilm activities were observed for both layer types but through dissimilar modes of action. Their cytocompatibility and osteogenic potential were also investigated. Interfaced with MC3T3-E1 cells, the functionalized rGO sheets evoked better cell adhesion and growth than GO sheets, whereas the latter elicited higher osteodifferentiation activity throughout a 28-day in vitro culture. In this work, we showed that it is technically possible to construct graphene interface layers of varying lateral dimensions and surface properties and confirmed the concept of using the obtained assemblies to address the two major challenges facing orthopedic clinics. In addition, we determined fundamental implications for understanding the surface-biology relationship of graphene biomaterials, in efforts to better design and more safely use them for future biomedicine.

Abstract
Selective cell recognition and capture has recently attracted significant interest due to its potential importance for clinical, diagnostic, environmental, and security applications. Current methods for cell isolation from complex samples are largely dependent on cell size and density, with limited application scope as many of the target cells do not exhibit appreciable differences in this respect. The most recent and forthcoming developments in the area of selective recognition and capture of whole cells, based on natural receptors, as well as synthetic materials utilising physical and chemical properties of the target cell or microorganism, are highlighted. Particular focus is given to the development of cell complementary surfaces using the cells themselves as templating agents, by means of molecular imprinting, and their combination with sensing platforms for rapid cell detection in complex media. The benefits and challenges of each approach are discussed and a perspective of the future of this research area is given.

Abstract
Environmental biofouling caused by the formation of biofilm has been one of the most urgent global concerns. Silver nanoparticles (NPs), owing to their wide-spectrum antimicrobial property, have been widely explored to combat biofilm, but their extensive use has raised growing concern because they persist in the environment. Here we report a novel hybrid nanocomposite that imparts enhanced antimicrobial activity and low cytotoxicity yet with the advantage of reduced silver loading. The nanocomposite consists of Pt/Ag bimetallic NPs (BNPs) decorated on the porous reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets. We demonstrate that the enhanced antimicrobial property against Escherichia coli is ascribed to the intricate control of the interfaces between metal compositions, rGO matrix, and bacteria, where the BNPs lead to a rapid release of silver ions, and the trapping of bacteria by the porous rGO matrix further provides high concentration silver ion sites for efficient bacteria-bactericide interaction. We envision that our facile approach significantly expands the design space for the creation of silver-based antimicrobial materials to achieve a wide spectrum of functionalities.

Abstract
A simple and versatile method for the preparation of surfaces to control bacterial adhesion is described. Substrates were first treated with two catechol-based polymerization initiators, one for thermal initiation and one for visible-light photoinitiation. Graft polymerization in sequence of dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) and 3-acrylamidebenzene boronic acid (BA) from the surface-bound initiators to form mixed polymer brushes on the substrate was then carried out. The PDMAEMA grafts were thermally initiated and the PBA grafts were visible-light-photoinitiated. Gold, poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), and poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) were used as model substrates. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and ellipsometry analysis confirmed the successful grafting of PDMAEMA/PBA mixed brushes. We demonstrated that the resulting surfaces showed charge-reversal properties in response to change of pH. The transition in surface charge at a specific pH allowed the surface to be reversibly switched from bacteria-adhesive to bacteria-resistant. At pH 4.5, below the isoelectric points (IEP, pH 5.3) of the mixed brushes, the surfaces are positively charged and the negatively charged Gram-positive S. aureus adheres at high density (2.6 × 10(6) cells/cm(2)) due to attractive electrostatic interactions. Subsequently, upon increasing the pH to 9.0 to give negatively charged polymer brush surface, ∼90% of the adherent bacteria are released from the surface, presumably due to repulsive electrostatic interactions. This approach provides a simple method for the preparation of surfaces on which bacterial adhesion can be controlled and is applicable to a wide variety of substrates.
