Absolute quantitation of bacterial biofilm adhesion and viscoelasticity by microbead force spectroscopy.

Biophysical journal - 8 Apr 2009

Lau Peter C Y, Dutcher John R, Beveridge Terry J, Lam Joseph S

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial biofilms are the most prevalent mode of bacterial growth in nature. Adhesive and viscoelastic properties of bacteria play important roles at different stages of biofilm development. Following irreversible attachment of bacterial cells onto a surface, a biofilm can grow in which its matrix viscoelasticity helps to maintain structural integrity, determine stress resistance, and control ease of dispersion....
