Development of Polythiourethane/ZnO-Based Anti-Fouling Materials and Evaluation of the Adhesion of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> and <i>Candida glabrata</i> Using Single-Cell Force Spectroscopy

Development of Polythiourethane/ZnO-Based Anti-Fouling Materials and Evaluation of the Adhesion of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> and <i>Candida glabrata</i> Using Single-Cell Force Spectroscopy

The attachment of bacteria and other microbes to natural and artificial surfaces leads to the development of biofilms, which can further cause nosocomial infections. Thus, an important field of research is the development of new materials capable of preventing the initial adhesion of pathogenic micr...
