Publication on analysis of bacterial adhesion forces
The adhesion of bacteria to surfaces such as biomedical devices, food preparation surfaces, and industrial equipment has implications for numerous applications. Samantha O’Connor, who recently completed her MS degree in Physics, recently published the work: A high throughput matlab program for automated force–curve processing using the AdG polymer model, in the Journal of Microbiological Methods, with authors Samantha O’Connor, Rebecca Gaddis, Evan Anderson, Terri A. Camesano, and Nancy A. Burnham. This work describes a method to collect and analyze bacterial adhesion force data in a more efficient and accurate way.
