Biomaterials for the restoration of oral function are prone to biofilm formation, affecting oral
health. Oral bacteria adhere to hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces, but due to fluctuating …

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in employing electro-bioremediation, a
hybrid technology of bioremediation and electrokinetics for the treatment of soil …

Background This study aims to investigate bacterial adhesion on different titanium and
ceramic implant surfaces, to correlate these findings with surface roughness and surface …

Background: Little is known about the mechanisms of bacterial interaction with implant
materials in the oral cavity. A correlation between plaque accumulation and progressive …

Background Implant-related infections are caused by adhesion of bacteria to the surface of
biomaterials. In this in vitro research, we evaluated the ability of Staphylococcus epidermidis …

The microorganism-rich nature of the ocean imposes great challenges to the structural
integrity of metals over their service lifespan, including titanium (Ti) alloys, which are usually …

In the mouth, biofilm formation occurs on all soft and hard surfaces. Microbial colonization on
such surfaces is always preceded by the formation of a pellicle. The physicochemical …

The addition of copper makes the Cu-bearing stainless steel (SS) possess excellent
antibacterial properties. However, the antibacterial mechanism of the Cu-bearing SS is still …

Bacterial infection is one of the most frequent and severe complications in the long-term
effectiveness of medical implants and devices, greatly increasing treatment cost and …

Biofilms forming on the surface of biomaterials can cause intractable implant-related
infections. Bacterial adherence and early biofilm formation are influenced by the type of …
