Engineering serendipity: High-throughput discovery of materials that resist bacterial attachment (2015)
Journal Article
Magennis, E., Hook, A., Davies, M., Alexander, C., Williams, P., & Alexander, M. R. (2016). Engineering serendipity: High-throughput discovery of materials that resist bacterial attachment. Acta Biomaterialia, 34, 84-92. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actbio.2015.11.008

Controlling the colonisation of materials by microorganisms is important in a wide range of industries and clinical settings. To date, the underlying mechanisms that govern the interactions of bacteria with material surfaces remain poorly understood,...

Cationic polymer mediated bacterial clustering: cell-adhesive properties of homo- and copolymers (2015)
Journal Article
Louzao, I., Sui, C., Winzer, K., Fernandez-Trillo, F., & Alexander, C. (2015). Cationic polymer mediated bacterial clustering: cell-adhesive properties of homo- and copolymers. European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics, 95, 47-62. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejpb.2015.05.026

New anti-infective materials are needed urgently as alternatives to conventional biocides. It has recently been established that polymer materials designed to bind to the surface of bacteria can induce the formation of cell clusters which enhance the...
