The Effects of Various Metallic Surfaces on Cellular and Bacterial Adhesion
Metals, 2019 The effects of Ti, Nb, Ta, Zr, and Ag on cellular and bacterial adhesion were investigated in this study. Moreover, the relationships between surface compositions, metal ion release behaviors, and biological responses were examined. As a result, MC3T3-E1

A MAM7 peptide-based inhibitor of Staphylococcus aureus adhesion does not interfere with in vitro host cell function. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Adhesion inhibitors that block the attachment of pathogens to host tissues may be used synergistically with or as an alternative to antibiotics. The wide-spread bacterial adhesin Multivalent Adhesion Molecule (MAM) 7 has recently emerged as a candidate ...

A simple AI-enabled method for quantifying bacterial adhesion on dental materials
Biomaterial Investigations in Dentistry, 2022 Purpose: Measurement of bacterial adhesion has been of great interest for different dental materials. Various methods have been used for bacterial counting; however, they are all indirect measurements with estimated results and therefore cannot truly ...

Spatial Period of Laser-Induced Surface Nanoripples on PET Determines Escherichia coli Repellence
Nanomaterials, 2021 Bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation on surfaces are associated with persistent microbial contamination, biofouling, and the emergence of resistance, thus, calling for new strategies to impede bacterial surface colonization.

A Laboratory Assessment of Factors That Affect Bacterial Adhesion to Contact Lenses
Biology, 2013 Adhesion of pathogenic microbes, particularly bacteria, to contact lenses is implicated in contact lens related microbial adverse events. Various in vitro conditions such as type of bacteria, the size of initial inoculum, contact lens material ...

Quantification of Bacterial Attachment to Tissue Sections
Bio-Protocol, 2018 Here we describe a method to test bacterial adhesion to paraffin embedded tissue sections. This method allows examining binding of different bacterial strains, transfected with a fluorescent protein reporter plasmid to various tissues, to better ...
