Les industriels ont plus de chances de déjouer les bactéries s'ils comprennent la façon dont elles s'attachent aux surfaces. Généralement, ce processus résulte de la combinaison de quatre étapes, soit le transport, l'adhésion initiale, le bioattachement et la colonisation. 2, record 1, French, - adh%C3%A9sion%20initiale

La adhesión inicial depende de interacciones fisicoquímicas tales como interacciones electrostáticas, fuerzas de Van der Waals o interacciones hidrofóbicas. [...] los biomateriales plásticos utilizados para fabricar catéteres son lógicamente de naturaleza hidrofóbica, lo que en principio favorece la adherencia inicial de las bacterias que en su mayoría poseen en su superficie componentes de naturaleza hidrofóbica. 1, record 1, Spanish, - adhesi%C3%B3n%20inicial

Selectines facilitate the initial adhesion of leukocytes on the surface of vascular endothelium. This initial adhesion is considered to be the first step in the development of the atherosclerotic plaque. Adhered leukocytes migrate into the subendothelial space and form the so-called "foam" cells at a later stage. Three different selectine molecule have been identified : L-selectine is expressed on the leucocyte membrane, E-selectine is expressed on the "activated" endothelial cell membrane and P-selectine is expressed on both platelet and "activated" endothelial cell surface. P-selectine seems to play a role in the development of acute coronary syndromes. Increased serum levels of P-selectine have been found in both acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina. 1, record 3, English, - P%2Dselectine
