Determination of the nano-scaled contact area of staphylococcal cells

Determination of the nano-scaled contact area of staphylococcal cells
Nicolas Thewes, Philipp Jung, Christian Spengler, Karin Jacobs, Markus Bischoff
A change in wettability on a surface provokes for many Staphylococci a drastic difference in adhesion force that in this study enables the determination of the bacterial contact area. This area differs from cell to cell in one bacterial species and is not correlated with the individual adhesion force.
