Antimicrobial Activity in Thin Films of Pseudobrookite-Structured Titanium Oxynitride under UV Irradiation Observed for Escherichia coli (original) (raw)

This research investigates the antimicrobial properties of thin films of Pseudobrookite-structured titanium oxynitride when exposed to UV irradiation, specifically targeting Escherichia coli. As antibiotic resistance grows, there is an increasing need for effective antimicrobial coatings in medical and environmental applications. The study evaluates the composition and antibacterial efficacy of these films using various X-ray diffraction techniques and controlled laboratory tests, illustrating the significance of UV light activation in enhancing their antimicrobial activity.
