Adhesion Forces of Oral Bacteria to Titanium and the Correlation with Biophysical Cellular Characteristics

Bacterial adhesion to dental implants is the onset for the development of pathological biofilms. Reliable characterization of this initial process is the basis towards the development of anti-biofilm strategies. In the present study, single-cell force spectroscopy (SCFS), by means of an atomic force...
