Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods grown by chemical bath deposition (CBD) on the surface of polyetheresulfone (PES) electrospun fibers confer antimicrobial properties to the obtained hybrid inorganic-polymeric PES/ZnO mats. In particular, a decrement of bacteria colony forming units (CFU) is observed for both negative (<i>Escherichia coli</i>) and positive (<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> and <i>Staphylococcus epidermidis</i>) Grams. Since antimicrobial action is strictly related to the quantity of ZnO pre ...[more]
