We aimed to assemble research papers on the preparation of new materials, antimicrobial testing using different pathogens (bacteria, fungi, and viruses), and the relationship between the coating nanostructure and its reactivity towards the studied pathogen(s). We believe that a good antimicrobial coating should by characterized by (i) a fast activity towards the pathogen, (ii) sustainable activity based on the stability of the coating, and (iii) the lowest possible toxicity for humans and reduced risks for the environment. Striking a compromise between these different challenges is difficult and requires more research. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $aactive packaging 610 $achitosan 610 $amethylcellulose 610 $anatamycin 610 $aantimicrobial action 610 $aquaternary ammonium groups 610 $aacrylic acid 610 $aglycidyl methacrylate 610 $acrosslinking reaction 610 $acoating 610 $aedible films 610 $aedible coatings 610 $aantimicrobial agents 610 $afresh fish 610 $aspoilage 610 $ashelf-life 610 $ablack anther disease 610 $aorchid cut flower 610 $asilver nanoparticles 610 $aantifouling efficacy 610 $aflow-through 610 $atriangular box 610 $aAmphibalanus amphitrite 610 $acuprous oxide 610 $adynamic aging 610 $arepellant activity 610 $araft experiment 610 $abioassay 610 $abiofouling of ships' hull 610 $apolypropylene 610 $ahernia meshes 610 $aantibacterial 610 $adrug release 610 $apolydopamine 610 $aantimicrobial 610 $acitric acid 610 $across-linked 610 $acold plasma 610 $aantimicrobial activity 610 $abrilliant green 610 $acrystal violet 610 $ademethylation 610 $alignin 610 $apolyurethane coatings 610 $atriphenylmethane dyes 610 $a3D printing 610 $acatheters 610 $adialysis 610 $aextrusion 610 $ainfections 610 $amanufacturing 610 $ainfection 610 $acoatings 610 $asilver 610 $ananomaterials 610 $aplasma deposition 610 $atitanium-based thin films 610 $acopper 610 $amagnetron sputtering 610 $asuper-elastic coatings 610 $aE. coli inactivation 615 7$aResearch & information: general 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aRtimi$b Sami$4edt$01324197 702 $aRtimi$b Sami$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557408603321 996 $aAdvances in Antimicrobial Coatings$93036026 997 $aUNINA
