    Abstract

    Biomaterial-associated infections (BAI) are the major cause of implant failure and can develop many years after implantation, which threatens the device functionality and longevity. Therefore, novel antimicrobial biomaterials and coatings to make surfaces less prone to BAI are essential to develop and evaluate in suitable in vitro models.
