A synthetic surface on which the adhesion of IE. coli/I bacteria can be controlled has been created by a research team from Kiel University (CAU) and Goeth University Frankfurt. The layer, which is only approximately four nanometres thick, imitates the saccharide coating (glycocalyx) of cells onto which the bacteria adhere such as during an infection. This docking process can be switched on and off using light. This means that the scientists have now made an ...Wednesday, 3 December 2014
Adhesion of E.Coli Bacteria Controlled by Researchers
