Though the history of mankind, we are strongly fighting with infected diseases that are induced by bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other pathogens. Although a variety of medicines, including antibiotics and chemicals, have been developed since about one hundred years ago, many challenges are still threatening human health, such as drug resistance and emerging novel pathogens. Therefore, the development of antimicrobial materials has bloomed. From silver containers in ancient time to synthesized chemicals in the early 20th century, the antimicrobial materials are being improved to fight microorganisms. The efficacies of antimicrobial materials are further promoted by modern technologies. Recently, the efficacies and functions of antimicrobial materials are continuously enriched along with the advances of materials science and engineering, which strengthens the ability against complicated, severe infections and improves the performances on disease treatments. Multifunctional antimicrobial materials have drawn the greater attention of researchers. The multifunctional antimicrobial materials could not only fight against infections, but also promote the efficacy of medical devices, which will play significant roles in promoting the development of advanced medical devices. This review provides an overview on the development of multifunctional antimicrobial materials. The progress in applications of multifunctional antimicrobial materials is also summarized.

纵观人类历史，我们正在与由细菌、真菌、病毒和其他病原体引起的感染性疾病进行激烈的斗争。尽管大约一百年前开发了包括抗生素和化学品在内的多种药物，但许多挑战仍然威胁着人类健康，例如耐药性和新病原体的出现。因此，抗菌材料的开发蓬勃发展。从古代的银器到 20 世纪初的合成化学品，抗菌材料正在不断改进以对抗微生物。现代技术进一步提高了抗菌材料的功效。近年来，随着材料科学与工程的进步，抗菌材料的功效和功能不断丰富，增强对复杂、重症感染的抵抗能力，提高疾病治疗效果。多功能抗菌材料引起了研究人员的更多关注。多功能抗菌材料不仅可以对抗感染，还可以提高医疗器械的疗效，这将对推动先进医疗器械的发展发挥重要作用。本综述概述了多功能抗菌材料的发展。综述了多功能抗菌材料的应用进展。多功能抗菌材料不仅可以对抗感染，还可以提高医疗器械的疗效，这将对推动先进医疗器械的发展发挥重要作用。本综述概述了多功能抗菌材料的发展。综述了多功能抗菌材料的应用进展。多功能抗菌材料不仅可以对抗感染，还可以提高医疗器械的疗效，这将对推动先进医疗器械的发展发挥重要作用。本综述概述了多功能抗菌材料的发展。综述了多功能抗菌材料的应用进展。
