                         Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 (E. coli). Also, the DLC structural 
                         quality, hardness and total compressive stress were evaluated by 
                         using Raman scattering spectroscopy, nanoindentation and 
                         perfilometry. Our results show DLC films produced with good 
                         quality, low internal compressive stress and high hardness even 
                         with high deposition rates. Antibacterial tests show DLC films 
                         kill about 30% of E. coli, which means it is possible to use 
                         super-hard DLC films as an antibacterial device produced in a 
                         large scale.",
