Context-dependent effects of antimicrobial coatings on microbial load and bacterial community composition on public high-touch surfaces

2026-02-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Antimicrobial surfaces incorporated into high-touch public areas are used as a passive intervention to reduce surface microbial load and reduce the spread of infections. However, usually such surfaces lack proof of their antimicrobial activity in real use conditions and against a wider variety of microbes. This study evaluated the real-world performance of copper, TiO 2 -, silver- and quatern...
