Antibacterial Property of Si Nanopillars for Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR) Bacteria
Nano-patterned surfaces show antimicrobial properties, which are due to the physical interaction between the bacteria and surface. To prevent contact infections that occur in hospitals, a material based on new concepts, physical antimicrobial performance, are required, because conventional chemical action would produce anti-microbial resistance (AMR) bacteria. We fabricated the nanopillars based on a Si substrate which mimic the surface of cicada wing, and analyzed its antibacterial performance for three major AMR, MDRP, MRSA and ESBL Pro. E. coli. The results show good anti-bacterium effect for all bacteria.
