Adhesion Potential of Intestinal Microbes Predicted by Physico-Chemical Characterization Methods.

Bacterial adhesion to epithelial surfaces affects retention time in the human gastro-intestinal tract and therefore significantly contributes to interactions between bacteria and their hosts. Bacterial adhesion among other factors is strongly influenced by physico-chemical factors. The accurate quan...
