bacterial adhesion

The motility of bacteria also has a significant effect on the bacterial adhesion.

What is the role of bacterial adhesion?

Bacterial adhesion is particularly important for oral bacteria.

These glycoproteins include proline rich proteins that allow bacterial adhesion.

The typical structure of a bacterial adhesion is that of a fimbria or pili.

Bacterial adhesion to boat hulls serves as the foundation for biofouling of seagoing vessels.

The new research suggests that the beneficial substances in cranberry juice could reach the urinary tract and prevent bacterial adhesion within eight hours.

Bacterial adhesion involves the attachment (or deposition) of bacteria on the surface (solid, gel layer, etc.).

Localization of a critical interface for helical rod formation of bacterial adhesion P-pili.

The surface is usually electropolished to an effective surface roughness of less than 0.5 micrometre to reduce the possibility of bacterial adhesion.

The ectodomain of this protein mediates bacterial adhesion to mammalian cells, and the cytoplasmic domain is required for internalization.

An alternative might be interference with bacterial adhesion by pathogenic Escherichia coli, which have abnormal adherence in ulcerative colitis.

Biofouling is divided into microfouling - biofilm formation and bacterial adhesion - and macrofouling - attachment of larger organisms.

The bacterial adhesion consists primarily of an intramembranous structural protein which provides a scaffold upon which several extracellular adhesins may be attached.

Adhesins are cell-surface components or appendages of bacteria that facilitate bacterial adhesion or adherence to other cells or to inanimate surfaces.

It also determines the course of subsequent events occurring at the surface, such as platelet adhesion-activation for blood contacting devices, or bacterial adhesion, encrustation and blockage for urinary catheters.

Radial stagnant point flow (RSPF) system has currently been used for the experiment of bacterial adhesion with the verification of DLVO theory.

Surface modification involves the fundamentals of physicochemical interactions between the biomaterial and the physiological environment at the molecular, cellular and tissue levels (reduce bacterial adhesion, promote cell adhesion).

In the next 24 hours, this layer allows the process of bacterial adhesion to occur, with both diatoms and bacteria (e.g. vibrio alginolyticus, pseudomonas putrefaciens) attaching, initiating the formation of a biofilm.

Unidentified Component Fructose, which is present in the juices, interferes with some bacterial adhesion, but another, as yet unidentified component of cranberry and blueberry juices seems to be a more potent inhibitor, the researchers said.

Contact lenses with covalently attached Selenium molecules have been shown to reduce bacterial colonization without adversely affecting the cornea of a rabbit eye and octylglucoside used as a contact lens surfactant significantly decreases bacterial adhesion.

This basic structure is conserved across type 1 fimbrial adhesins though recent studies have shown that in vitro induced mutations can lead to the addition of C-terminal domain specificity resulting in a bacterial adhesion with dual bending sites and related binding phenotypes.

The Neisseria species mentioned variate their pili (protein polymers made up of subunits called pilin which play a critical role in bacterial adhesion, they are antigens which stimulate a vigorous host immune response) and the Streptococci variate their M-protein.

Materials research into superior anti fouling surfaces for fluidized bed reactors suggest that low wettability plastics such as Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC"), high-density polyethylene and polymethylmethacrylate ("plexiglas") demonstrate a high correlation between their resistance to bacterial adhesion and their hydrophobicity.

The fluid produced by the sanitizer contains a scale inhibitor to prevent the build up of encrusted deposits, a cleaning agent to help keep surfaces clean (thus helping to prevent bacterial adhesion), and the regular dosing of the fluid ensures the maintenance of sanitary conditions, even in areas of heavy use.
