Microbial infections associated with biomedical devices, medical care, and implants have posed a significant challenge to global health. Besides, the misuse and improper handling of antibiotics stemmed from developing alternative and practical materials to combat pathogenic microorganisms. On the other hand, nanoengineered antimicrobial coatings (NAMCs) are recently emerging as a key element of microbial pathogens' worldwide mitigation approach. Tunable mechanical properties and sizeable drug-loading capacity are desirable properties of coating materials that kill the bacteria and prevent...
