Preventing E. coli biofilm formation with antimicrobial peptide surface coatings: recognizing the dependence on the bacterial binding mode using live-cell microscopy
A. Hansson, E. A. Karlsen, W. Stensen, J.-S. Svendsen, M. Berglin, A. Lundgren
This study uses live-cell microscopy to show that E. coli binding to an antimicrobial peptide coating changes its contact mode, reducing AMP efficacy, and highlights the importance of binding mode in coating design.
