A profound understanding of bacterial adhesion on abiotic substrates is of great importance for health care concerns. Force measurements with an atomic force microscope (AFM) and bacterial probes are the state-of-the art method in quantitative bacterial adhesion research. In this thesis, a simple and reproducible method to produce single bacterial probes was developed and, subsequently, used to investigate bacterial adhesion mechanisms on abiotic surfaces. To deepen the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of bacterial adhesion, Monte Carlo simulations were paired with AFM experiments. By using highly controlled substrates, fundamental mechanisms of bacterial adhesion are revealed: Bacterial adhesion relies on the binding of bacterial ...
