spelling Self-Disinfecting Surfaces and Infection ControlHealthcare FacilitiesInfection ControlMicrobiological Risk AssessmentPublic SpacesSelf-disinfecting SurfacesAgentes Microbianos e AmbienteReviewAccording to World Health Organization, every year in the European Union, 4 million patients acquire a healthcare associated infection. Even though some microorganisms represent no threat to healthy people, hospitals harbor different levels of immunocompetent individuals, namely patients receiving immunosuppressors, with previous infections, or those with extremes of age (young children and elderly), requiring the implementation of effective control measures. Public spaces have also been found an important source of infectious disease outbreaks due to poor or none infection control measures applied. In both places, surfaces play a major role on microorganisms' propagation, yet they are very often neglected, with very few guidelines about efficient cleaning measures and microbiological assessment available. To overcome surface contamination problems, new strategies are being designed to limit the microorganisms' ability to survive over surfaces and materials. Surface modification and/or functionalization to prevent contamination is a hot-topic of research and several different approaches have been developed lately. Surfaces with anti-adhesive properties, with incorporated antimicrobial substances or modified with biological active metals are some of the strategies recently proposed. This review intends to summarize the problems associated with contaminated surfaces and their importance on infection spreading, and to present some of the strategies developed to prevent this public health problem, namely some already being commercialized.The authors acknowledge the funding provided by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT - Portugal) through the scholarship SFRH/BD/130203/2017 (Micaela Machado Querido) and the project“B-SAFECOAT - Desenvolvimento de novas tintas com propriedades auto-desinfetantes”(POCI-01-0247-FEDER-017875)ElsevierRepositório Científico do Instituto Nacional de SaúdeQuerido, Micaela MachadoAguiar, LíviaNeves, PaulaPereira, Cristiana CostaTeixeira, João Paulo2019-03-06T16:47:48Z2019-02-162019-02-16T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.18/6080engColloids Surf B Biointerfaces. 2019 Feb 16;178:8-21. doi: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2019.02.009.
