Abstract

Bacterial infection is a menace in the healthcare sector. Bacteria responsible for nosocomial infections have developed multi-drug resistance. This urges the need for adopting physical means to deter bacterial attachment. This study investigated the bactericidal activity of surface topography of cockroach wing against strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The results indicated that the nanopore topography was found to reduce the bacterial attachment and their viability till 7h, suggesting that nanopore topography could be a potential antibacterial surface.
