Incorporation of biguanide compounds into poly(GL)-b-poly(GL-co-TMC-co-CL)-b-poly(GL) monofilament surgical sutures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A new biodegradable coating was developed for bioabsorbable monofilament sutures. Specifically, a random copolymer having 35 wt-% and 65 wt-% of lactide and trimethylene carbonate units showed appropriate flexibility, stickiness and degradation rate, as ...

Surface thermodynamics of bacterial adhesion [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 1983
The adhesion of five strains of bacteria, i.e., Staphylococcus aureus (strain 049), Staphylococcus epidermidis (strain 047), Escherichia coli (strains 055 and 2627), and Listeria monocytogenes, to various polymeric surfaces was studied. The design of the experimental protocol was dictated by thermodynamic considerations.

Balancing porosity and mechanical properties of titanium samples to favor cellular growth against bacteria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Two main problems limit the success of titanium implants: bacterial infection, which restricts their osseointegration capacity; and the stiffness mismatch between the implant and the host cortical bone, which promotes bone resorption and risk of fracture.

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 ...

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

Xanthan pyruvilation is essential for the virulence of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Xanthan, the main exopolysaccharide (EPS) synthesized by Xanthomonas spp., contributes to bacterial stress tolerance and enhances attachment to plant surfaces by helping in biofilm formation.

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.
