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

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...
