Bacterial Adhesion at Synthetic Surfaces [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 1999
ABSTRACT A systematic investigation into the effect of surface chemistry on bacterial adhesion was carried out. In particular, a number of physicochemical factors important in defining the surface at the molecular level were assessed for their effect on the adhesion of Listeria monocytogenes ...

Innovative solutions to sticky situations: Antiadhesive strategies for treating bacterial infections [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Bacterial adherence to host tissue is an essential process in pathogenesis, necessary for invasion and colonization and often required for the efficient delivery of toxins and other bacterial effectors.

Osteopontin adsorption to Gram-positive cells reduces adhesion forces and attachment to surfaces under flow

open access: yesJournal of Oral Microbiology, 2017
The bovine milk protein osteopontin (OPN) may be an efficient means to prevent bacterial adhesion to dental tissues and control biofilm formation.

A simple AI-enabled method for quantifying bacterial adhesion on dental materials

open access: yesBiomaterial 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 ...

Loss of flotillin expression results in weakened desmosomal adhesion and Pemphigus vulgaris-like localisation of desmoglein-3 in human keratinocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Desmosomes are adhesion plaques that mediate cell-cell adhesion in many tissues, including the epidermis, and generate mechanical resistance to tissues. The extracellular domains of desmosomal cadherin proteins, desmogleins and desmocollins, are required

Reproducible biofilm cultivation of chemostat-grown Escherichia coli and investigation of bacterial adhesion on biomaterials using a non-constant-depth film fermenter. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Biomaterials-associated infections are primarily initiated by the adhesion of microorganisms on the biomaterial surfaces and subsequent biofilm formation.

Biocompatibility and antibacterial properties of zirconium nitride coating on titanium abutments: An in vitro study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Improving soft tissue attachment and reducing bacterial colonization on titanium abutments are key factors for the long-term maintenance of healthy soft and hard peri-implant tissues.

Spatial Period of Laser-Induced Surface Nanoripples on PET Determines Escherichia coli Repellence

open access: yesNanomaterials, 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.

Interaction between bacteria and cholesterol crystals: Implications for endocarditis and atherosclerosis.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
BackgroundThe interaction between pathogenic bacteria and cholesterol crystals (CCs) has not been investigated. However, CCs are found extensively in atherosclerotic plaques and sclerotic cardiac valves.
