Factors influencing initial bacterial adhesion to antifouling surfaces studied by single-cell force spectroscopy

iScience
Summary: Biofilm formation, a major concern for healthcare systems, is initiated when bacteria adhere to surfaces. Escherichia coli adhesion is mediated by appendages, including type-1 fimbriae and curli amyloid fibers.

Exploring the impact of antibodies on the mechanics of bacterial fimbriae

, 2016
The discovery of antibiotics in 1928 seemed like a win in the battle against infectious diseases. But, the ability of bacterial pathogens to adapt to these life-saving medicines was underestimated. The bacterial evolution, indeed, led to the emergence of antibiotic resistance as soon as the clinical consumption of antibiotics started.
