"SUR0 FAGOCAPA" DEVELOPMENT OF ANTIMICROBIAL SURFACES USING BACTERIOPHAGES IN FUNCTIONAL COATINGS DESCRIPTION This project is supported by emerging scientific publications on the use of phages as antimicrobial agents. It is an innovative application in functional coatings, compared to conventional solutions based on chemical biocides or metals (silver, copper), which represents a change in the line of work towards highly selective and sustainable strategies. This project is based on a hypothesis that is still relatively unexplored at the laboratory level, and therefore at the industrial level. However, it is worth investigating because it aligns with European strategies for sustainability and combating antimicrobial resistance, a global threat recognized by both the WHO and the EU. The results that can be obtained in this project will have great potential in both industrial and medical sectors, as they are a radically different alternative to current conventional biocides. OBJECTIVES - Development of functional barriers based on bacteriophages (PHAGES) for the creation of highly selective and sustainable antimicrobial surfaces. - Prevention of bacterial infections and control of contamination in key sectors such as health, food and industry. - Estimation of the stability, durability and lifespan of the antibacterial barrier.
