TL;DR: A biophysical model of the interactions between bacterial cells and cicada wing surface structures is proposed, and it is shown that mechanical properties are key factors in determining bacterial resistance/sensitivity to the bactericidal nature of the wing surface.

TL;DR: This study demonstrated that the traditionally employed amplitudinal roughness parameters are not the only determinants of bacterial adhesion, and that spatial parameters can also be used to predict the extent of attachment.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that two bacterial strains, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, exhibited different attachment affinities towards two types of molecularly smooth titanium surfaces each possessing a different nanoarchitecture.

TL;DR: A technique for producing three-dimensional surface models using displacement maps that are based on the data obtained from two-dimensional analyses that is particularly useful when applied to scanning electron micrographs that have been calibrated using atomic force microscopy roughness data.

TL;DR: This work presents a novel approach for the three-dimensional visualization of bacterial interactions with nano-structured surfaces using the software package Autodesk Maya, and graphically depicts the interactions between the two bacteria being used for modeling purposes.
