Abstract EN
The adhesion of Aeromonas hydrophila, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella Enteritidis, and Staphylococcus aureus to hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces in cultures with different pHs (6, 7, and 8) was studied.
The results indicated that the type of material had no effect on the attachment capacity of microorganisms, while environmental pH influenced the adhesion of A.
hydrophila, E.
coli, and S.
aureus to both solid substrates.
The attachment of S.
Enteritidis (P>.05) was not affected by the type of substrate or the culture pH, whereas E.
coli displayed the weakest affinity for both polystyrene and glass surfaces.
No correlation was established between the physicochemical properties of the materials, or the bacterial and the rate of bacterial adhesion, except for S.
aureus.
Photomicrographs have shown that surfaces were contaminated by small clusters of S.
Enteritidis while S.
aureus invaded the food contact surfaces in the form of small chains or cell aggregates.
