Abstract

Healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) have a significant effect on public health globally. However, the occurrence of HCAI is generally considered avoidable. Several new coatings were designed to achieve long-term antimicrobial activity to reduce the risk of implanted device malfunction. These antimicrobial coating strategies are generally believed to have the ability to decrease microbial or even viral quantities on surfaces in clinical environments with significant business investment and scientific research. The additional method of raising biosafety in the hospital setting is recommended when touching surfaces consisting of materials with antimicrobial properties, particularly in the light of the recent outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 in 2020; attention is being drawn even to the viral transmission of the residue on the surface to the human body in a hospital setting, especially in ICU units. Special coatings are believed that to reduce the risk of contamination using antimicrobial surface engineering.
