Abstract
⺠The crystal structure of collagenâbinding region of RspB, rRspB31-348, was determined. ⺠rRspB31-348 binds to collagen by a unique mechanism called “Collagen Hug”. ⺠Bacterial adhesins were shown to be involved in biomaterial infection. ⺠Nanoparticle coated biomaterials showed reduced bacterial colonization on it. ⺠rRspB31-348-silver nanoparticle interaction impaired “Collagen Hug” mechanism.
