Building an antifouling zwitterionic coating on urinary catheters using an enzymatically triggered bottom-up approach.

ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 2014
Catheter associated urinary tract infections are common during hospitalization due to the formation of bacterial biofilms on the indwelling device. In this study, we report an innovative biotechnology-based approach for the covalent functionalization of ...
