• Abstract:

  Background information: Biomaterials used in medical devices such as silicone can easily promote surface microbial colonization and related biofilm-associated-infections. Thus, preventing the microbiological contamination of the device surface is a potential way to favour its performance.
  Methods: Sophorolipids (SLs) were biosynthesized by..
