Thermally Switchable Polymers Achieve Controlled Escherichia coli Detachment

Thermally Switchable Polymers Achieve Controlled Escherichia coli Detachment

The thermally triggered release of up to 96% of attached uropathogenic E. coli is achieved on two polymers with opposite changes in surface wettability upon reduction in temperature. This demonstrates that the bacterial attachment to a surface cannot be explained in terms of water contact angle alon...
