Surface Modification by Nano-Structures Reduces Viable Bacterial Biofilm in Aerobic and Anaerobic Environments

Abstract: Bacterial biofilm formation on wet surfaces represents a significant problem in medicine and environmental sciences. One of the strategies to prevent or eliminate surface adhesion of organisms is surface modification and coating. However, the current coating technologies possess several drawbacks, including limited durability, low biocompatibility and high cost. Here, we present a simple antibacterial modification of titanium, mica and glass surfaces using self-assembling nano-structures. We have designed two … Show more

“…Previous research evidenced that Lactobacillus acidophilus could produce bifidogenic growth factors to stimulate the growth of Bifidobacterium longum in pure culture [ 48 ] . Enterococcus faecalis could create anaerobic conditions, which might be of benefit for survival of Bifidobacterium [ 49 ]. In addition, Enterococcus spp.…”

“…Many natural surfaces possess structural antimicrobial properties, including dragon y [10] and cicada wings [11], shark skin [12], and lotus leaves [13,14]. Several synthetic analogs have been developed in an attempt to replicate the anti-bio lm effects of naturally bio lm-resistant surfaces [15][16][17]. While these materials have promising applications, they also suffer from limitations such as cytotoxicity to human cells and manufacturing di culties, constraining their use in medical tools and implants.…”
