Adhesion Behavior of Escherichia coli Strains on Glass: Role of Cell Surface Qualitative and Quantitative Hydrophobicity in Their Attachment Ability

Microbial adhesion to surfaces is thought to involve physicochemical interactions between the substrate and microbial cells. Understanding the physicochemical aspects involved in the adhesion phenomenon, as a critical step in biofilm formation, is essential to finding ways to prevent their formation...
