Hydrophobic properties are considered as a factor enhancing the adhesion of bacteria to tissue cells. The strains of P. aeruginosa isolated from patients with urinary tract infections (UTI), from feces and soil were investigated. It shows that over 50% strains isolated from UTI had hydrophobic cell surface. Most of all strain investigated (67.9%) is characterized by hydrophobicity what probably favours their pathogenicity.
疏水性被认为是增强细菌与组织细胞黏附的一个因素。对从尿路感染（UTI）患者、粪便和土壤中分离出的铜绿假单胞菌菌株进行了研究。结果表明，从尿路感染患者中分离出的菌株超过50%具有疏水细胞表面。大多数被研究的菌株（67.9%）具有疏水性，这可能有利于它们的致病性。
