Materials Science and Engineering C: Materials for Biological Applications, 2020 Thrombosis formation and bacterial infection are key challenges for blood-contacting medical devices. When blood components encounter a device’s surface, proteins are adsorbed, followed by the adhesion and activation of platelets as well as an immune ...

Bacterial Adhesion and Entry into Host Cells [PDF]
Cell, 2006 Successful establishment of infection by bacterial pathogens requires adhesion to host cells, colonization of tissues, and in certain cases, cellular invasion-followed by intracellular multiplication, dissemination to other tissues, or persistence. Bacteria use monomeric adhesins/invasins or highly sophisticated macromolecular machines such as type III

Reproducible biofilm cultivation of chemostat-grown Escherichia coli and investigation of bacterial adhesion on biomaterials using a non-constant-depth film fermenter. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Biomaterials-associated infections are primarily initiated by the adhesion of microorganisms on the biomaterial surfaces and subsequent biofilm formation.

Salivary Pellicle Modification with Grape-seed Extract: In Vitro Study on the Effect on Bacterial Adhesion and Biofilm Formation [PDF]
, 2021 Purpose: Grape-seed extract (GSE) contains polyphenols that readily adhere to proteins and modify the acquired enamel pellicle (AEP). The first step in biofilm formation is bacterial adhesion to the AEP-covered enamel.

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.

Catch-bond mechanism of the bacterial adhesin FimH [PDF]
, 2016 Ligand-receptor interactions that are reinforced by mechanical stress, so-called catch-bonds, play a major role in cell-cell adhesion. They critically contribute to widespread urinary tract infections by pathogenic Escherichia coli strains.

Measuring cell adhesion forces with the atomic force microscope at the molecular level [PDF]
, 2002 In the past 25 years many techniques have been developed to characterize cell adhesion and to quantify adhesion forces. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used to measure forces in the pico-newton range, an experimental technique known as force ...
