Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A new class of bacteria‐attachment‐resistant materials</bold> is discovered using a multi‐generation polymer microarray methodology that reduces bacterial attachment by up to 99.3% compared with a leading commercially available silver hydrogel anti‐bacterial material. The coverage of three bacterial species, <italic>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</italic>, <italic>Staphylococcus aureus</italic>, and uropathogenic <italic>Escherichia coli</italic> is assessed. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1zsnhrmj" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
