Abstract
This article considers connections between the characteristics of the surfaces of elastomeric materials and the adhesion of bacterial cells. The results demonstrate that the formation of colonies depends on the surface roughness and surface energy, as well as on the specific peculiarities of the studied polymer. Adhesion of bacterial cells to different solid and elastic polymeric materials is compared.
