Abstract
The adhesion of bacteria to surfaces is associated with physicochemical and biological interactions. The present investigations provide new results about the differential adhesion levels of skin bacteria using a representative 3D skin model which mainly relies on the different physicochemical properties of the respective surfaces. Modulation of the adhesion of bacteria and thus their colonization, may occur by adjusting the physicochemical properties of the epidermal and bacterial surfaces. Lewis acid and hydrophobicity were the most strongly correlated parameters with the antiadhesion properties of the tested compounds. Modulation of physicochemical properties appears to be the primary driver of reduced Staphylococcus aureus adhesion in this study, with no significant changes observed in the expression of genes associated with classical adhesion pathways.
期刊介绍：
npj Biofilms and Microbiomes is a comprehensive platform that promotes research on biofilms and microbiomes across various scientific disciplines. The journal facilitates cross-disciplinary discussions to enhance our understanding of the biology, ecology, and communal functions of biofilms, populations, and communities. It also focuses on applications in the medical, environmental, and engineering domains. The scope of the journal encompasses all aspects of the field, ranging from cell-cell communication and single cell interactions to the microbiomes of humans, animals, plants, and natural and built environments. The journal also welcomes research on the virome, phageome, mycome, and fungome. It publishes both applied science and theoretical work. As an open access and interdisciplinary journal, its primary goal is to publish significant scientific advancements in microbial biofilms and microbiomes. The journal enables discussions that span multiple disciplines and contributes to our understanding of the social behavior of microbial biofilm populations and communities, and their impact on life, human health, and the environment.
