Key points from article :
Laser treatment of metal surfaces can kill bacteria on it rapidly.
One-step laser texturing technique uses a laser to create nanoscale patterns on the metal's surface.
Produce a rugged texture increasing the surface area of the metal.
So there’s more surface area for bacteria to come in to contact with the metal surface.
Chances of even resistant bacteria such as MRSA rupturing on the spot are higher.
Potential technology that could reduce risks of growth of bacteria and biofilms on implants in future.
