Abstract excerpt
Microbial hydrophobicity has been studied since 1924. During the last decade, various techniques have become available for measuring hydrophobic surface properties of microbial cells. This has led to a surge in investigations suggesting a role for hydrophobicity in adhesion of bacteria to an array of surfaces (oral surfaces, mineral particles, fatty meat, epithelial cells, phagocytes, biomaterials), partitioning...
