Adhesion of Staphylococcus aureus on stainless steel treated with three types of milk

Antibacterial, antibiofilm and antiquorum sensing effects ofThymus daenensisandSatureja hortensisessential oils againstStaphylococcus aureusisolates

“…aureus ATCC 25923, as a reference biofilm producer strain, and S. epidermidis ATCC 12228, as a nonbiofilm producer strain, were used in all of the experiments (Hamadi et al . ; Snel et al . ).…”

Antibacterial Performance of a Cu-bearing Stainless Steel against Microorganisms in Tap Water

“…The tap water in different plates was removed and the samples were rinsed with distilled water for three times. The bacterial biofilms on the steel surfaces were air-dried to a certain state [38,39] . Contact angle measurements were performed by using a goniometer (JC2000C, Shanghai Zhongcheng, China) for 5 times on each of the steel surfaces based on the reported procedure [38] .…”

Identification and physicochemical characterization of bacterial surface isolated from catering services in health establishment

“…According to literature, food contamination by pathogenic bacteria could be the result of detachment of biofilm bacteria [9][10][11][12][13][14]. Several studies have reported that bacteria have the capacity to adhere to food contact surfaces such as polystyrene, polypropylene, stainless steel, glass, marble and granite, and also on food products [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. This adhesion is the key step to biofilm formation, and is considered as the result of physico-chemicals interactions.…”

“…Several studies have demonstrated the importance of bacteria surface hydrophobicity in the adhesion process [32][33][34][35][36]. The role of electrondonor/electron acceptor in adhesion phenomenon has been also widely studied [23,[37][38][39].…”
