  • Abstract
    Upon initial microbial adhesion to a surface, multiple events occur that include interfacial re-arrangements in the region between an adhering organism and a surface. Application of physico-chemical mechanisms to explain microbial adhesion to surfaces requires better knowledge of the interfacial re-arrangement occurring immediately after adhesion than hitherto available.
