• A Shape‐Adaptive, Antibacterial‐Coating of Immobilized Quaternary‐Ammonium Compounds Tethered on Hyperbranched Polyurea and its Mechanism of Action (2014, background): “Antimicrobial action of QACs starts when they approach bacterial cell surfaces close enough to interact through hydrophobic and electrostatic attractions([2-5]) between positively-charged QAC-molecules and negatively-charged bacterial cell surfaces.”
• Bacterial cell attachment, the beginning of a biofilm (2007, background): “The role of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in attachment to solid surfaces remains confused [12, 87, 88] but evidence is mounting that the presence of LPS on a cells surface tends to make a bacterial cell more hydrophilic in nature and that the loss of LPS from a cell surface results in the cell sur-”
