Journal ArticleDOI
Physico-chemistry of initial microbial adhesive interactions – its mechanisms and methods for study
TL;DR: The physico-chemical mechanisms underlying the adhesive interactions are described and a critical review is given of currently employed methods to study microbial adhesive interactions, with an emphasis on the use of the parallel plate flow chamber.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomaterial-Associated Infection: Locating the Finish Line in the Race for the Surface
Henk J. Busscher,Henny C. van der Mei,Guruprakash Subbiahdoss,Paul C Jutte,Jan J.A.M. van den Dungen,Sebastian A. J. Zaat,Marcus J. Schultz,David W. Grainger +7 more
TL;DR: This review provides design guidelines for infection-reducing strategies based on the concept that the fate of biomaterial implants or devices is a competition between host tissue cell integration and bacterial colonization at their surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial effects of positively charged surfaces on adhering Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria
TL;DR: It is suggested that positively charged biomaterial surfaces exert an antimicrobial effect on adhering Gram-negative bacteria, but not on Gram-positive ones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbiota restoration: natural and supplemented recovery of human microbial communities
Gregor Reid,Jessica A. Younes,Henny C. van der Mei,Gregory B. Gloor,Rob Knight,Henk J. Busscher +5 more
TL;DR: The mechanisms underlying microbiota restoration following insult (antibiotic or otherwise) to the skin, oral cavity, and gastrointestinal and urogenital tracts are explored, highlighting recovery by natural processes and after probiotic administration.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro and in vivo antimicrobial activity of covalently coupled quaternary ammonium silane coatings on silicone rubber.
TL;DR: QAS-coated silicone rubber shows antimicrobial properties against adhering bacteria, both in vitro and in vivo.
