Investigation of Candida Microorganisms Adherence to Polymeric Surfaces: A Review

Abstract

Microorganism adhesion on a material surface plays a crucial role on the application of biomedical devices, implants, drug delivery systems, scaffolds and so on. Desirable surfaces which have bioactive, bioinert or anti-biofoul property can be prepared by physical adsorption of specific compounds on these surfaces or chemical modification. Micro/nano patterned surface fabrication is one of the most important ways of surface modification. Studies reveal that surface properties such as wettability (hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity) character of a surface, surface charge, surface free energy, and surface roughness effects the adhesion of the microorganisms on material surfaces.

 

The aim of this study is the investigation of relationship between surface properties of polymeric materials and adhesion of Candida microorganisms who known as opportunist pathogens in medical area and the main reason of the systemic fungal infections.
