Abstract
Research in the field of bioadhesion is crucial to determine the antimicrobial efficacy. Experiments include cultivations with Escherichia coli K12 JM109 to reach bacteria adhesion in order to enable adhesion force measurements between bacterium and surface with a new micromanipulation system installed in atomic force microscope. To alter the surface, hydrophobic surfaces were generated with Argon/C4F8 plasma. The findings demonstrate the successful validation of the new micromanipulation system to measure the bacterial adhesion force and additionally show the antiadhesive effect of fluorine.
