Bacterial colonization on biomedical devices often leads to biofilms that are recalcitrant to antibiotic treatment and the leading cause of hospital-acquired infections. We have invented a novel pretreatment chemistry for device surfaces to produce a high-density three-dimensional (3-D) network of c...
