Abstract excerpt
Cationic liposomes have been prepared from dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), cholesterol (Chol) and stearylamine (SA). These phospholipid vesicles were exposed to adsorbed biofilms of the skin-associated bacteria Staphylococcus epidermidis, to which they showed a strong affinity. The interaction (as assessed by the apparent monolayer coverage of the biofilms by liposomes) was described in terms of a Langmuir...
