Bacterial infections are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In spite of great advances in biomaterials research and development, a significant proportion of medical devices undergo bacterial colonization and become the target of an implant-related infection.We present a review of the twomajor classes of antibacterial nanostructuredmaterials: polymeric nanocomposites and surface-engineered materials. The paper describes antibacterial effects due to the induced material pr...
