Multifunctional Coatings to Simultaneously Promote Osseointegration and Prevent Infection of Orthopaedic Implants (2016, positive): “These solid interfaces provide surfaces for bacterial attachment, proliferation, and biofilm formation, in which the adherent bacteria produce a protective, polymeric, extracellular substance, rendering these bacteria substantially more difficult to eradicate than individual suspended planktonic bac”
