Effects of Substratum Topography on Bacterial Adhesion [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Colloid and Interface Science, 1998
The effect of substratum topography on bacterial surface colonization was studied using a chemically homogeneous silicon coupon. "Grooves" 10 µm deep and 10, 20, 30, and 40 µm wide were etched on the coupon perpendicular to the direction of flow. Flow (Re = 5.5) of a bacterial suspension (10(8) cells/ml) was directed through a parallel plate flow ...

Natural Bone‐Derived Ceramic Scaffolds Functionalized with Chitosan‐Gold, Chitosan‐Magnesium, and Chitosan‐Zinc for Enhanced Antibacterial Activity

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports the development of antibacterial ceramic scaffolds derived from natural bovine bone. The bones were processed through sequential boiling and hydrogen peroxide treatment to remove organic matter, producing porous, mineral‐rich scaffolds.

Inhibition of Bacterial Adhesion on Medical Devices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Microbial infections resulting from bacterial adhesion to biomaterial surfaces have been observed on almost all medical devices. Biofilm infections pose a number of clinical challenges due to their resistance to immune defence mechanisms and antimicrobials, and, regardless of the sophistication of the implant, all medical devices are susceptible to ...

Impact of honey on dental erosion and adhesion of early bacterial colonizers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The aim was to investigate if honey causes erosion and if salivary pellicle modified with honey, or its components, or the by-product propolis has a protective effect against dental erosion and adhesion of early bacterial colonizers.

Regulated Ion‐Diffusion Hydrogels for Subtle and Multimodal Temperature‐Strain Sensing in Wound Monitoring

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A soft, dual‐channel hydrogel patch enables simultaneous detection of wound temperature and strain by integrating ion‐diffusion‐mediated thermoelectric and resistive sensing. The conformal design maintains stable performance during motion, capturing subtle inflammatory and mechanical changes for continuous wound monitoring.

In-situ monitoring of the unstable bacterial adhesion process during wastewater biofilm formation: A comprehensive study

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2020
The initial bacterial adhesion phase is a pivotal and unstable step in the formation of biofilms. The initiation of biofilm formation is an unstable process caused by the reversible adhesion of bacteria, which is always time-consuming and yet to be ...
