Cellulose nanocrystals are effective in inhibiting host cell bacterial adhesion

The use of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as a biomaterial able to inhibit host cell bacterial adhesion is described. Pre-incubation of E. coli ATCC 25922 with a suspension of 0.1% CNCs afforded a significant 2 log reduction of bacterial adhesion to the intestinal cell monolayer HT29. This effect cou...
