Proper surface engineering can inhibit microorganism spread and biofilm formation, can contrast antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and can avoid cross-contamination from a contaminated surface to another and eventually to humans. For these reasons, antibacterial surfaces play a key role in many applications, ranging from biomedicine to food and beverage materials, textiles, and objects with frequent human contact. The incorporation of antimicrobial agents within a surface or their addition onto a surface are very effective strategies to achieve this aim and to properly modify many other surface properties at the same time. In this framework, this Special Issue collects research studying several materials and methods related to the antibacterial properties of surfaces for different applications and discussions about the environmental and human-safety aspects. 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $aaluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) 610 $aantibacterial 610 $aantibacterial coating 610 $aantibiotic resistance 610 $aantibiotics 610 $aantifouling 610 $aantimicrobial 610 $aantimicrobial coatings 610 $aantimicrobial peptide 610 $aantiviral 610 $aaPDT 610 $aatomic force microscopy (AFM) 610 $abacterial attachment 610 $abiofilm 610 $abiomaterials 610 $abiomedical 610 $abiomedical applications 610 $abioremediation 610 $aBODIPY 610 $aC. violaceum 610 $acellulose 610 $acomposite 610 $acopolymers 610 $acytotoxicity 610 $adrug delivery 610 $adrug loading 610 $aelectrodeposition 610 $aelectrospinning 610 $afoams 610 $afood packaging 610 $afunctionalization 610 $agraphene 610 $ahalloysite nanotubes 610 $ahealth 610 $ahybrid composites 610 $aLL 37 610 $aMagainin 610 $amechanical properties 610 $ametal ions 610 $ametal nanoparticles 610 $amicelles 610 $an/a 610 $ananocomposite 610 $ananofibers 610 $ananoparticle 610 $ananosilica 610 $aParasin 610 $aphotodynamic 610 $aplasma polymer 610 $apolycaprolactone (PCL) 610 $apolylactide 610 $aproteins 610 $aquorum sensing 610 $aRF sputtering (RFS) 610 $aring opening polymerization 610 $aS. marcescens 610 $asilver 610 $asilver nanoparticles 610 $asputtering 610 $asupersonic cluster beam deposition (SCBD) 610 $asupramolecular systems 610 $athin film 610 $atitanium dioxide 610 $atitanium implants 610 $avirulence 610 $axanthan gum 610 $azinc 610 $azinc oxide 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aValerini$b Daniele$4edt$0785331 702 $aValerini$b Daniele$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557742703321 996 $aAntibacterial Surfaces, Thin Films, and Nanostructured Coatings$93035959 997 $aUNINA
