nano scale Polytetrafluoroethylene avoids germs?

Polytetrafluoroethylene, or Teflon, is wonderful for cooking with. Right now however the people at DuPont are releasing a new and improved version in different colours and probably without the health side effects. However, I am interested to know if Polytetrafluoroethylene can be engineered at the nano level so that not even bacteria can grapple to a surface, this then means that no surface would require anything more than just a wipe of a damp cloth to clean it. Not only this, but of any material or one unlike Polytetrafluoroethylene which could be applied to say toughened glass and used as a kitchen surface.

 

Am I on the right track, basically can bacteria (bad-germs) be made to not stick to a surface?
