The combined effect of surface chemistry and flow conditions on Staphylococcus epidermidis adhesion and ica operon expression
The assessment of biomaterial susceptibility to infection relies mainly on the analysis of macroscopic bacterial responses to material interactions, usually under static conditions. However, new technologies permit a more profound understanding of the molecular basis of bacteria-biomaterial interact...
