Real-life and in vitro evaluation of the antimicrobial effectiveness of a polycationic fabric coating Inanimate surfaces, including hospital textiles, are increasingly recognized to play a role in pathogen transmission. We aimed to evaluate a polycationic antimicrobial fabric coating in reducing bacte...

New in AJIC: A polycationic fabric coating wiped out bacteria—but only when recovered by liquid extraction.
Swabbing missed the effect.
Testing method matters when evaluating antimicrobial surfaces.
