Newest firstStreptococcus mutans is a key pathogen in dental caries and adheres to tooth surfaces via the surface protein SpaP, which binds salivary agglutinin (SAG). However, the extent to which adherence properties influence subsequent biofilm formation remains unclear. This study investigated biofilm formation of S. mutans strains with varying adherence properties on glass surfaces with or without a crude SAG (cSAG) coatin…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Bacterial colonisation on implantable device surfaces is estimated to cause more than half of healthcare-associated infections. The application of inorganic coatings onto implantable devices limits/prevents microbial contaminations. However, reliable and high-throughput deposition technologies and experimental trials of metal coatings for biomedical applications are missing. Here, we propose the combina…
Metal coatings represent good strategies to functionalize surfaces/devices and limit bacterial contamination/colonization thanks to their pleiotropic activity and their ability to prevent the biofilm formation. Here, we investigated the antibacterial and antibiofilm capacity of copper coatings deposited through the Ionized Jet Deposition (IJD) on the Calgary Biofilm Device (CBD) against the growth of two gram-nega…
