We show that gecko microspinules (hairs) and their equivalent replicas, bearing nanoscale tips, can kill or impair surface associating oral pathogenic bacteria with high efficiency even after 7 days of repeated attacks. Scanning Electron Microscopy suggests there is more than one mechanism contributing to cell death which appears be related the scaling type hair arrays accessibility underlying nano-topography hierarchical surfaces.
