Micro- and Nanotopography Sensitive Bacterial Attachment Mechanisms: A Review
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Frontiers in Microbiology"
DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2019.00191
Abstract: Bacterial attachment to material surfaces can lead to the development of biofilms that cause severe economic and health problems. The outcome of bacterial attachment is determined by a combination of bacterial sensing of material surfaces… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/foods11193096
Abstract: Biofilms are highly resistant to external forces, especially chemicals. Hence, alternative control strategies, like antimicrobial substances, are forced. Antimicrobial surfaces can inhibit and reduce microbial adhesion to surfaces, preventing biofilm formation. Thus, this research aimed… read more here.
