Cefalexin-immobilized multi-walled carbon nanotubes show strong antimicrobial and anti-adhesion properties

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) possess weak antimicrobial property. In this report, we demonstrate that the covalent immobilization of the antibiotic cefalexin via poly(ethylene glycol) as a linking agent improves the antimicrobial and anti-adhesive properties of MWNTs against both Gram-negat...
