“…Van der Mei et al [203] studied adhesion of six coagulase‐negative staphylococcal strains (see Table 8) to positively and negatively charged acrylate surfaces with similar wettability in a parallel plate flow chamber without application of an external electric field. Initial deposition rates of all staphylococcal strains were high, up to 2.5 times the Smoluchowski‐Levich solution j 0 * of the convective‐diffusion equation (), on the positively charged substratum ( ζ =+2 mV) and reduced to a fraction of the Smoluchowski‐Levich solution on the negatively charged substratum ( ζ =−13 mV).…”

In this review, initial microbial adhesive interactions are divided into adhesion to substratum surfaces, coaggregation between microbial pairs and co-adhesion between sessile and planktonic microorganisms of different strains or species. The physico-chemical mechanisms underlying the adhesive interactions are described and a critical review is given of currently employed methods to study microbial adhesive interactions, with an emphasis on the use of the parallel plate flow chamber. Subsequently, for each of the three microbial adhesive interactions distinguished, the role of Lifshitz-van der Waals, acid-base and electrostatic interactions is described based on existing literature.
