Influence of Environmental Stress on the Kinetics and Strength of Attachment of Listeria monocytogenes Scott A to Buna-N Rubber and Stainless Steel

摘要: Attachment and detachment of Listeria monocytogenes Scott A to Buna-N rubber stainless Steel under varying conditions temperature pH were investigated using model systems. Numbers attached cells increased with increasing attachment (10 45°C) time (up 120 min) for both test surfaces. Compared rubber, the rate was markedly more rapid all studied could not be calculated. Rate found significantly lower when at 10°C. Growth did affect rates adhesion rubber. Altering medium during between 4 9 demonstrated that slower alkaline conditions. also Detachment adhered affected by growth but pH. Significan...
