Journal ArticleDOI
Adhesion of cultured human endothelial cells onto methacrylate polymers with varying surface wettability and charge
TL;DR: HEC adhesion in CMS onto (co)polymers of hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and methyl methacylate (MMA) was found to be optimal on the moderately wettable copolymer (mol ratio 25 HEMA/75 MMA) and in CM, complete cell spreading in CM was only observed on the positively-charged copolymers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adhesion of coagulase-negative staphylococci to biomaterials
TL;DR: The strong interaction between S. epidermidis and FEP, which appeared not to be influenced by the age or the metabolic stage of the bacteria, is mainly caused by hydrophobic bonding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adhesion of coagulase-negative staphylococci to methacrylate polymers and copolymers
TL;DR: Bacterial adhesion experiments performed in a parallel-plate perfusion system showed that positively charged TMAEMA-Cl copolymers significantly promoted the adhesion of CNS as compared with all other methacrylate (co)polymers tested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cell surface characteristics of coagulase-negative staphylococci and their adherence to fluorinated poly(ethylenepropylene).
TL;DR: It was concluded that results obtained from the xylene adherence test were not predictive of the adherence of CNS to the hydrophobic FEP surface, and initial adherence to FEP and xylene is hampered by EP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Encapsulation, slime production and surface hydrophobicity of coagulase-negative staphylococci
TL;DR: After characterization of twenty one staphylococci strains, the presence of a capsule and the ability to produce extracellular slime were studied and the surface hydrophobicity of the strains was studied.
