Hydrophobic interaction governs unspecific adhesion of staphylococci: a single cell force spectroscopy study
Unspecific adhesion of bacteria is usually the first step in the formation of biofilms on abiotic surfaces, yet it is unclear up to now which forces are governing this process. Alongside long-ranged van der Waals and electrostatic forces, short-ranged hydrophobic interaction plays an important role....
