A Laboratory Assessment of Factors That Affect Bacterial Adhesion to Contact Lenses

Biology, 2013
Adhesion of pathogenic microbes, particularly bacteria, to contact lenses is implicated in contact lens related microbial adverse events. Various in vitro conditions such as type of bacteria, the size of initial inoculum, contact lens material ...

The Impact of Plasma Membrane Lipid Composition on Flagellum-Mediated Adhesion of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli

mSphere, 2020
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 is a major cause of foodborne gastrointestinal illness. The adhesion of EHEC to host tissues is the first step enabling bacterial colonization. Adhesins such as fimbriae and flagella mediate this process.

Impairment of the bacterial biofilm stability by triclosan [PDF]

, 2012
The accumulation of the widely-used antibacterial and antifungal compound triclosan (TCS) in freshwaters raises concerns about the impact of this harmful chemical on the biofilms that are the dominant life style of microorganisms in aquatic systems ...

Quantification of Bacterial Attachment to Tissue Sections

Bio-Protocol, 2018
Here we describe a method to test bacterial adhesion to paraffin embedded tissue sections. This method allows examining binding of different bacterial strains, transfected with a fluorescent protein reporter plasmid to various tissues, to better ...

Physico-chemistry from initial bacterial adhesion to surface-programmed biofilm growth.

Advances in Colloid and Interface Science, 2018
Biofilm formation is initiated by adhesion of individual bacteria to a surface. However, surface adhesion alone is not sufficient to form the complex community architecture of a biofilm. Surface-sensing creates bacterial awareness of their adhering state

Bacterial endotoxin adhesion to different types of orthodontic adhesives [PDF]

Journal of Applied Oral Science, 2017
The aim of this study was to assess whether LPS adheres to orthodontic adhesive systems, comparing two commercial brands.Forty specimens were fabricated from Transbond XT and Light Bond composite and bonding agent components (n=10/component), then contaminated by immersion in a bacterial endotoxin solution.

A Real-Time Thermal Sensor System for Quantifying the Inhibitory Effect of Antimicrobial Peptides on Bacterial Adhesion and Biofilm Formation

Sensors, 2021
The increasing rate of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in pathogenic bacteria is a global threat to human and veterinary medicine. Beyond antibiotics, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) might be an alternative to inhibit the growth of bacteria, including AMR ...

Hydrophilic polymer‐coated PVC surface for reduced cell and bacterial adhesions

Biosurface and Biotribology, 2022
Hydrophilic polymers are very useful in biomedical applications. In this study, biocompatible polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) polymers end‐capped with succinimidyl groups were either modified or synthesised and attached to ...

How Functionalized Surfaces Can Inhibit Bacterial Adhesion and Viability.

ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering, 2019
Device-associated infections (DAI) remain a serious concern in modern healthcare. Bacterial attachment to a surface is the first step in biofilm formation, which is one of the main causes of DAIs.

Bacterial-epithelial contact is a key determinant of host innate immune responses to enteropathogenic and enteroaggregative escherichia coli [PDF]

, 2011
Background: Enteropathogenic (EPEC) and Enteroaggregative (EAEC) E. coli have similar, but distinct clinical symptoms and modes of pathogenesis. Nevertheless when they infect the gastrointestinal tract, it is thought that their flagellin causes IL-8 ...
