SUMMARY:Seminar “Bio-Inspired Engineering of Surfaces to Prevent Bacteria
 l\nAttachment” by Benjamin Hatton\, Assistant Professor\, Department of\
 nMaterials Science and Engineering\, University of Toronto
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nABSTRACT:  Implanted medical devices are at signif
 icant risk of\ndeveloping bacterial biofilm-associated infections and appr
 oximately\n60% of all hospital-acquired infections are due to biofilm form
 ation\non implanted devices. Bacterial biofilms are encased in an\nextrace
 llular matrix\, largely polysaccharide\, which protects from\nantibiotics 
 and the host immune system. Herein I will present three\n‘bio-inspired
 ’ approaches to design surfaces to prevent bacterial\nattachment and bio
 film formation.\n
