Adherence of cold-adapted Escherichia coli O157:H7 to stainless steel and glass surfaces
چکیده انگلیسی

The effects of previous cold-induced cell elongation on adherence of Escherichia coli O157:H7 to glass slides and stainless steel surfaces was evaluated at 4 °C for ≤48 h. Planktonic E. coli O157:H7 with and without cold adaptation were prepared at 15 and 37 °C, respectively, and planktonic E. coli O157:H7 containing elongated (>4 ≤ 10 μm) and filamentous (>10 μm) cells were prepared at 6 °C. Despite morphological differences in planktonic E. coli O157:H7 preparations, all three cell types attached to a greater extent to glass than to the stainless steel surfaces. E. coli O157:H7 cells adapted to growth at 15 °C attached better to both glass and stainless steel surfaces (3.2 and 2.6 log cfu/cm2, respectively) than cells of the other treatments at ≥24 h. Cells adapted at 6 °C attached to glass slides and stainless steel coupons at levels of 3.0 and 1.8 log cfu/cm2, respectively, while E. coli O157:H7 cells grown at 37 °C attached to these surfaces at levels of 2.0 and 1.7 log cfu/cm2, respectively. No further attachment of cells from any of the treatments was noted between 24 and 48 h at 4 °C. These results suggest that E. coli O157:H7 cells adapted at 6 °C–15 °C have greater potential to attach to food contact surfaces than those grown at higher temperature. The enhanced biofilm-forming ability of 6 °C or 15 °C-adapted, elongated and filamentous E. coli O157:H7 cells did not appear to be related to the greater entanglement of longer cells within biofilm matrices.


► 6 °C-adapted Escherichia coli O157:H7 were two-fold longer than 15 °C-adapted cells.
► 15 °C-adapted cells attached better at 4 °C to glass or metal than other cells.
► E. coli O157:H7 adhered to glass to a greater extent than to stainless steel.
► Adherence of E. coli O157:H7 to surfaces was independent of cell length.
