Description	Atmospheric pressure diffuse barrier discharge in nitrogen was employed to promote the formation silver sub-micron particles on PP and PES warp-knitted surgical meshes. Its good antimicrobial efficacy against gram- positive Stafylococcus aureus and gram-negative Escherichia coli was confirmed.
