Analysing the Initial Bacterial Adhesion to Evaluate the Performance of Antifouling Surfaces

The aim of this work was to study the initial events of <i>Escherichia coli</i> adhesion to polydimethylsiloxane, which is critical for the development of antifouling surfaces. A parallel plate flow cell was used to perform the initial adhesion experiments under controlled hydrodynamic c...
