Bacterial filamentation accelerates colonization of adhesive spots embedded in biopassive surfaces

2013-12-12

Abstract excerpt

Sessile bacteria adhere to engineered surfaces and host tissues and pose a substantial clinical and economical risk when growing into biofilms.Most engineered and biological interfaces are of chemically heterogeneous nature and provide adhesive islands for bacterial attachment and growth.To mimic either defects in a surface coating of biomedical implants or heterogeneities within mucosal layers (Peyer's patches),...
