The Investigation of Phenomenological Model for Kinetics of Bacterial
Adsorption to Low Energy Surfaces
Abstract
The proposed early mathematical model of kinetics of bacterial
adsorption on polymeric materials with different levels of hydrophobicity was
investigated. The calibration procedure and the algorithm of calculation were
described for simulations by the model. The model was used to describe
experimental data of adsorption of Escherichia coli (strain 055) and Listeria
Monocytogenes on various polymeric surfaces. Theoretical prognosis of the
results of experiments based on the model showed that the accuracy of prognosis
tended to decrease with decreasing value of polymer contact angle.
