Abstract
Despite lacking visual, auditory, and olfactory perception, bacteria sense and attach to surfaces. Many factors, including the chemistry, topography, and mechanical properties of a surface, are known to alter bacterial attachment, and in this study, using a library of nine protein-resistant poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels immobilized on glass slides, we demonstrate that the thickness or amount of polymer concentration also matters....
