Bacterial infections caused by implanted/interventional medical devices have become the main component of health care-associated infection (HAT)，threatening the health of patients and causing huge economic losses. Construction of antibacterial coating on the surface of medical devices is one of the most effective and practical methods to prevent and inhibit HAL Light-mediated antibacterial coatings，which use light irradiation to inactivate bacteria? are flexible and controllable? and won't cause bacterial resistance. Those advantages have attracted extensive attention. In this paper ? the mechanism ? research progress and development trend of lightmediated antibacterial coatings were summarized.
