    Abstract: A medical device having resistance to Candida albicans yeast and antimicrobial activity includes a medical device surface having a copolymer coating of antifungal moieties and ionic binding moieties. The copolymer coating is obtained by copolymerizing antifungal monomers selected from tricyclodecane dimethanol diacrylate, 4-tert-butylcyclohexyl acrylate, neopentyl glycol diacrylate, trimethylcyclohexyl methacrylate, isobornyl acrylate, and mixtures thereof and ionic binding monomers selected from acrylic acid, methyl acrylate, and mixtures thereof. The coating may be loaded with elutable antimicrobial substances ionically bound to the ionic binding moieties. The antimicrobial substances may be cationic, such as, a cationic dye such as ethyl violet chloride, a cationic drug such as chlorhexidine diacetate, cationic peptides such as cecropins, magainins, protegrins, and bactenicins, or ionic silver. The medical device may be a catheter having an intraluminal surface and an extraluminal surface, and the copolymer coating is disposed on the intraluminal surface and the extraluminal surface.
