Gram-negative bacteria produce biofilms through cellular adhesion and aggregation, producing an extracellular polymeric matrix, made of homo- or heteropolysaccharides (Sutherland, 2001). In the case of P. , 2009). To increase the adhesion, the bacteria can modify the composition of its phenotypic lipopolysaccharide, the biofilm being able to survive on many surfaces and biomaterials. It has been demonstrated that if the hydrophobicity is increased on the surface of the cells, the adhesion on hydrophobic surfaces is also increased (Makin and Beveridge, 1996).
