Microbial adhesion and the subsequent formation of resilient biofilms at surfaces are
decisively influenced by substrate properties, such as the topography. To date, studies that …

Biofilm formation, especially of antimicrobiotic-resistant microbial strains, are a major problem
in health care. Therefore, there is great interest in developing advanced materials that are …

Bacterial adhesion to surfaces is a crucial step in initial biofilm formation. In a combined
experimental and computational approach, we studied the adhesion of the pathogenic …

Candida albicans-related bloodstream infections are often associated with infected central
venous catheters (CVC) triggered by microbial adhesion and biofilm formation. We utilized …

Bacterial adhesion is a crucial step during the development of infections as well as the
formation of biofilms. Hence, fundamental research of bacterial adhesion mechanisms is of …

Surface patterning in the micro- and nanometer-range by means of pulsed laser interference
has repeatedly proven to be a versatile tool for surface functionalization. With these …

Understanding bacterial adhesion as a first step toward biofilm formation is of fundamental
interests in many applications. While adhesion to abiotic surfaces is directly relevant for some …

Staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of catheter-related blood stream infections (CRBSI).
The bacterium has the ability to form multilayered biofilms on implanted material, which …

Streptococcus mutans cells form robust biofilms on human teeth and are strongly related to
caries incidents. Hence, understanding the adhesion of S. mutans in the human oral cavity is …

Data presented in this article describe bacterial and fungal repellent properties of 2D-films
and 3D-hydrogels made of different recombinantly produced spider silk proteins based on …
