The aim of the research described in this thesis was to analyze the biomaterial surface properties that influence bacterial growth. Subsequently, a second aim was to develop biomaterials with antimicrobial surface properties, i.e. on which bacteria can not grow,without leaking of antimicrobial agents from the surface. Finally, as a third aim, a model was developed to determine the antimicrobial properties of the newly designed biomaterial surfaces in vivo.
