Abstract: A novel anti-microbial coating and uses thereof on medical devices are presented. The novel coating is comprised of a layer of boron carbon nitride (BCN) coated onto a medical device such as a catheter. The BCN coating was found to inhibit bacterial growth by at least 80% and reduce biofilm formation by at least 60% on the treated surface of the catheter. This coating can be used to reduce or prevent central line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) in patients as well as inhibit bacterial growth and biofilm formation on a variety of medical devices or polymeric surfaces.
