Prevention of bacterial adhesion

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2010
Management of bacterial infections is becoming increasingly difficult due to the emergence and increasing prevalence of bacterial pathogens that are resistant to available antibiotics. Conventional antibiotics generally kill bacteria by interfering with vital cellular functions, an approach that imposes selection pressure for resistant bacteria.

Bacterial adhesion: A physicochemical approach

Microbial Ecology, 1989
The adhesion of bacteria to solid surfaces was studied using a physicochemical approach. Adhesion to negatively charged polystyrene was found to be reversible and could be described quantitatively using the DLVO theory for colloidal stability, i.e., in terms of Van der Waals and electrostatic interactions.

Bacterial adhesion on orthopedic implants

Advances in Colloid and Interface Science, 2020
Orthopedic implants are routinely used for fixation of fractures, correction of deformities, joint replacements, and soft tissue anchorage. Different biomaterials have been engineered for orthopedic implants. Previously, they were designed merely as mechanical devices, now new strategies to enhance bone healing and implant osteointegration via local ...

Bacterial adhesion to intraocular lenses

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 1989
Intraocular lenses removed because of recurrent episodes of intraocular inflammation showed bacteria adhering to the prosthesis. Infections localized to areas around intraocular lenses have been reported in the literature. Two such infections and an in vitro study of bacterial adherence to implant surfaces are reported.

Bacterial adhesion to functionalized polyurethanes

Journal of Biomaterials Science, Polymer Edition, 1999
The effect of fibrinogen and high molecular weight kininogen on bacterial adhesion to functionalized polyurethanes was studied. Glass slides were coated with different polyurethanes, including Pellethane, sulfonated Pellethane, phosphonated Pellethane, a zwitterionic phosphonated polyurethane, and quaternized amine polyurethanes.

Bacterial Adhesion to Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunts

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1987
✓ Bacterial adherence to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts was analyzedin vivoandin vitro. Scanning electron micrographs (SEM's) of catheters removed from pediatric patients with shunts infected byStaphylococcus aureusorKlebsiella pneumoniaerevealed numerous bacterial cells and microcolonies, leukocytes, and erythrocytes attached to the CSF catheters ...

Host and bacterial adhesion

Polish Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2013
Abstract Bacterial adhesion is an important step in tissue colonization and depends extensively on the surface properties of a bacterial cell. For many microorganisms the prerequisite for host body occupancy is a break in tissue continuity. The next step is ongoing tissue destruction by products of bacterial metabolism: microbial enzymes and ...

Adhesive Bacterial Exopolysaccharides

2016
Exopolysaccharides promote adhesion of bacteria to biotic and abiotic surfaces and are a key component of the extracellular matrix of many biofilms. Exopolysaccharides are chemically and structurally diverse and confer considerable advances to the bacteria that produce them. The increased tolerance to antibiotics and resistance to environmental changes

Bacterially derived wood adhesive

International Journal of Adhesion and Adhesives, 2006
Wood adhesives play an essential role in industry, however, many contain significant amounts of toxic components and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and most are produced from depleting petrochemical resources. We are currently investigating adhesives derived from microbial extracellular polysaccharides for use in the wood products market ...
