AB Biomaterials with surface antibacterial properties are promising components for medical implants that might provide an alternative to conventional systemic antibiotic treatments. Herein is reported a general method, based on plasma polymerization techniques, to promote the formation of "clickable surfaces" which can be conjugated with chemically modified antibiotics (e.g., azido-vancomycin) under very mild conditions. The procedure is comprised of three operations: (i) surface alkylcarboxylation with acrylic acid/CO 2 plasma, (ii) alkyne functionalization by condensation with propargylamine, and (iii) in situ Cu(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide conjugation with azidovancomycin. The antibacterial activity of the resulting functionalized surfaces has been assessed against Staphylococcus epidermidis.
