Light-activated antimicrobial coatings for reducing microbial contamination of surfaces

Environmental surface contamination can contribute to cross-infection within hospitals by acting as a reservoir from which personnel and patients can soil their hands. It is important, therefore, to develop effective means of reducing the microbial load on such surfaces. One possible approach involv...
