A Shape‐Adaptive, Antibacterial‐Coating of Immobilized Quaternary‐Ammonium Compounds Tethered on Hyperbranched Polyurea and its Mechanism of Action (2014, methodology): “Antimicrobial efficacy of QACs remains preserved when QAC-molecules are immobilized on a surface.([4,12-15]) Such contact-killing coatings have potential in widely-varying applications, including but not limited to surgical equipment and protective apparel in hospitals,([16]) medical implants and wo”
Biomaterial-Associated Infection: Locating the Finish Line in the Race for the Surface (2012, background): “Therefore, nonadhesive ( 44 , 45 ), antibiotic-releasing ( 46 ), silver-impregnated ( 47 ), or coatings that kill bacteria immediately upon their adhesion to the coating ( 48 ) can prevent implant infection in these contexts.”

Antibacterial activity of ZnO nanoparticle suspensions on a broad spectrum of microorganisms. (2008, background): “The possibility that antibacterial formulations based on nanoparticles themselves may be effective in controlling the outbreak of new resistant strains of bacteria such as MRSA has also been reported (Tiller et al., 2001).”
A Brief Recap of Microbial Adhesion and Biofilms (2019, positive): “examined the first bacterial elimination mechanism [77].”
Insights into bactericidal action of surface-attached poly(vinyl-N-hexylpyridinium) chains (2002, methodology): “Immobilized hexyl-PVP chains likely exert their bactericidal effect by penetrating the bacterial cell wall/membrane and perhaps causing autolysis (Tiller et al. 2001).”
Multidrug tolerance of biofilms and persister cells. (2008, background): “Attaching a long chain of poly(4-vinyl- N -alkylpyridinium bromide) to an amino glass slide produced a material that remained largely sterile (Tiller et al. 2001).”
