Understanding the Fundamental Basis for Biofilm Formation on Plastic Surfaces: Role of Conditioning Films
Conditioning films (CFs) are surface coatings formed by the adsorption of biomolecules from the surrounding environment that can modify the material-specific surface properties and precedes the attachment of microorganisms. Hence, CFs are a biologically relevant identity that could govern the behavi...
