The effect of the dual scale surface topography of a surface-modified titanium alloy on its bactericidal activity against <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>.

ABSTRACT: The rapid advancement of antibacterial nanostructured surfaces indicates that they will soon be integrated into real-world applications. However, despite notable progress, a comprehensive understanding of the antibacterial properties of nanostructures remains elusive, posing a critical barrier to the translation of this in vitro technology into practical applications. Among the numerous antibacterial nanostructures developed, nanowire structures play an important role due to their enhanced efficacy against bacteria and viruses and their ease of fabrication. Antibacterial nanowire structures exhibit the dual capability of lysing bacteria upon surface adhesion and mitigating bacterial colonization. The interplay of surface energy significantly influences bacterial adhesion, and macro
