Role of eDNA on the adhesion forces between Streptococcus mutans and substratum surfaces : influence of ionic strength and substratum hydrophobicity

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of extracellular DNA (eDNA) on the adhesion strength of Streptococcus mutans LT11 on substrata with different hydrophobicities at high and low ionic strengths. AFM adhesion forces to a hydrophilic and hydrophobic substratum increased with increasing...
