Biophysical approaches to study the dynamic process of bacterial adhesion.

• Recent applications of biophysical techniques to the study of adhesion and biofilm formation are playing an important role in broadening our understanding of bacterial interactions. While non-invasive methods enable measurement of adhesion kinetics in real time, single-cell approaches provide information about adhesion forces mediated by specific cell surface structures. Promising approaches are presented in this review.
