Bacterial adhesion: A physicochemical approach
Microbial Ecology, 1989The 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.

Escherichia coli bacterial cells produce multiple types of adhesion pili that mediate cell-cell and cell-host attachments. These pili (also called 'fimbriae') are large biopolymers that are comprised of subunits assembled via a sophisticated micro-machinery into helix-like structures that are anchored in the bacterial outer membrane.

Bacterial adhesion to intraocular lenses
Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 1989Intraocular 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, 1999The 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.

Physico-chemistry of bacterial transmission versus adhesion [PDF]
Advances in Colloid and Interface Science, 2017 Bacterial adhesion is a main problem in many biomedical, domestic, natural and industrial environments and forms the onset of the formation of a biofilm, in which adhering bacteria grow into a multi-layered film while embedding themselves in a matrix of ...

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 ...

Bacterial Adhesion, Cell Adhesion and Biocompatibility of Nafion Films
Journal of Biomaterials Science, Polymer Edition, 2009We investigated bioadhesion (bacterial and cell adhesion) and biocompatibility of poly(tetrafluoroethylene-co-perfluoro-3,6-dioxa-4-methyl-7-octenesulfonic acid) (Nafion) and compared the results with those obtained with poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVFHFP).

The effect of adhesive ligands on bacterial and fibroblast adhesions to surfaces
Biomaterials, 2009The modification of medical device surface with adhesive ligands has been recently shown to be an effective means for making a bioselective surface which can inhibit bacterial adhesion while promoting host cell adhesion on device materials. Currently, the lack of quantitative correlation between the adhesion strength of bacteria, nature of adhesive ...

Surface enhanced bacterial fluorescence and enumeration of bacterial adhesion
Biofouling, 2012The use of flow displacement systems for studying initial bacterial adhesion to surfaces is mostly confined to transparent substrata. The objective of this study was to investigate a method based on macroscopic fluorescence imaging to enumerate adhering fluorescent bacteria on non-transparent substrata, real-time and under flow. To this end, a stepwise
