As mentioned in the introduction of this thesis bacterial adhesion has been studied from a variety of (mostly practice oriented) starting points. This has resulted in a range of widely divergent approaches. In order to elucidate general principles in bacterial adhesion phenomena, we felt it was necessary to start from a fundamental level i.e.

Drug suppression of bacterial adhesion in respiratory infections
Zdorovʹe Rebenka, 2018 The adhesion of bacteria on the mucosa of the respiratory tract is realized by the functioning of various mechanisms. One of them is the formation of thread-like protein organelles, known as pili (fimbriae or villi).

The influence of surface chemistry on the kinetics and thermodynamics of bacterial adhesion
Scientific Reports, 2018 This work is concerned with investigating the effect of substrate hydrophobicity and zeta potential on the dynamics and kinetics of the initial stages of bacterial adhesion. For this purpose, bacterial pathogens Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli

Phosphoinositides and inositol phosphates as molecular glues
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Inositol phosphates (IPs) and phosphoinositides (PIPs) regulate diverse eukaryotic processes. Beyond recruiting signaling proteins or acting as structural cofactors, recent studies suggest they mediate protein–protein interactions as natural molecular glues.

Media surface properties and the development of nitrifying biofilms in mixed cultures for wastewater treatment [PDF]
, 2013 Plastic was tested to select biofilm support media that would enhance nitrification in the presence of heterotrophs. Eight different types (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, nylon, polycarbonate, polyethylene, polypropylene, polytetraflouroethylene (PTFE),

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Prosthesis and joint infections are an important threat in public health, especially due to the development of bacterial biofilms and their high resistance to antimicrobials. Biofilm-associated infections increase mortality and morbidity rates as well as

Effect of Surface Roughness of Deciduous and Permanent Tooth Enamel on Bacterial Adhesion
Microorganisms, 2022 The adhesion of some bacteria has been attributed to critical levels of roughness in hard tissues, which increases the risk of developing caries.

Strength of bacterial adhesion on nanostructured surfaces quantified by substrate morphometry.
Nanoscale, 2019 Microbial adhesion and the subsequent formation of resilient biofilms at surfaces are decisively influenced by substrate properties, such as the topography.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.
