Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Allemand)

We develop a rapidly acting antimicrobial coating applied on a patented device to disinfect the urethra. With this prevention method, we aim at massively reducing urinary tract infections, the use of antibiotics, the multi-billions of associated health care costs and ca. 200'000 deaths each year.
