Kinetics of Adhesion Staphylococcus aureus on Glass in the Presence of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate

Abstract

Bacterial contamination of surfaces is a natural and spontaneous process that often results in the formation of biofilms. The extracellular matrix of biofilm is mostly composed of proteins, polysaccharides, and extracellular DNA and is responsible for the strong persistent ability of biofilm in the food industry. Despite cleaning and disinfection processes, persistent bacteria cause a major problem in food processing environments. Synthetic surfactants, mainly anionic surface-active agent, are commonly used as detergents, foaming agents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, and dispersants. Their tendency to adsorb to surfaces and interfaces and modify their surface tension, is considered among their main properties. They also have the ability to attach to bioactive macromolecules such as proteins, peptides, and DNA causing cell membrane damage. In order to estimate the adhesion kinetic and proliferation of pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, the surface of glass was coated with anionic surfactant Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS). Moreover, SLS was added in suspension with the culture medium. The physicochemical properties of the material were calculated using the contact angle measurement method and bacterial hydrophobicity using the microbial adhesion to hydrocarbons (MATH) test. The obtained results showed that the number of adhering cells increased gradually as a function of time. However, changing the surface properties of the glass and S. aureus has affected the rate of adherent cells with time as well as their organization. SLS inhibited the attachment of cells, whether it is added with the microbial suspension or at the surface of the support. Generally, the present article points to a relationship between the microbial adhesion, the surface chemistry of the solid material and the bacteria, and the suspension properties.Keywords Sodium lauryl sulfate Á Adhesion Á Microbial adhesion to hydrocarbons test Á Contact angle Á Staphylococcus aureus

In vitro solubilization of antibiotic drug sulfamethazine: An investigation on drug–micelle aggregate formation by spectroscopic and scattering techniques

“…At low ionic strength, both electrostatic and Van Der Waals interaction was observed. Whereas, at high ionic strength, it only shows Van Der Waals interaction (Koubali et al, 2021; Tennouga et al, 2015). From the absorption spectroscopic experiment study, we realize that solubility of SMZ molecule has increased significantly in the presence of surfactants, CTAB and SDS, in pure water; where CTAB shows to be a better agent to solubilize SMZ drug than that of SDS surfactant.…”

The role of S-layer protein (SlpA) in biofilm-formation of Deinococcus radiodurans

“…The planktonic and biofilm bacterial cells were pelleted by centrifugation at 8000 RPM and ambient temperature and suspended in 4 ml of PBS. The hydrophobicity value is usually expressed as percentage given by the following formula:Whereas OD 1 is initial absorbance and OD 2 is final absorbance at 600 nm after mixing of xylene solution and incubation for 1 h. Bacterial isolates with >50% to 100% adherence to xylene are considered as hydrophobic as per MATH test (Koubali et al, 2021). Staphylococcus aureus V329 strain was taken as a positive control for the MATH test, as S. aureus is known for its hydrophobic behaviour due to which it makes clumps of cells (Koubali et al, 2021).…”

Effects of the anionactive surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate on the adhesion of cells of the strain <i>Micrococcus luteus</i> 1-i to the surface of carbon materials

“…Большинство исследователей наблюдали негативное действие анионоактивного ПАВ додецилсульфата натрия на способность микробных клеток адсорбироваться на различных поверхностях. В частности, продемонстрировано ингибирование прикрепления клеток Staphylococcus aureus к поверхности стекла под действием ДСН [33].…”

“…Ю. Шен и соавторы продемонстри-ровали, что ДСН значительно ингибирует образование биопленки грамположительных бактерий (Staphylococcus aurues и Streptococcus mutans) в концентрациях 0,31 мг/мл и выше [36]. Сорбция молекул ДСН вызывала изменения в гидрофобности поверхностей из стекла и полиэтилена и, следовательно, снижение адгезии клеток S. aureus [33].…”
