Microfluidic Shear Assay to Distinguish between Bacterial Adhesion and Attachment Strength on Stiffness-Tunable Silicone Substrates
Abstract
Tuning surface composition and stiffness is now an established strategy to improve the integration of medical implants. Recent evidence suggests that matrix stiffness affects bacterial adhesion, but contradictory findings have been reported in the literature. Distinguishing between the effects of bacterial adhesion and attachment strength on these surfaces may help interpret these findings. Here, we develop a precision microfluidic shear assay...
