Factors affecting the irreversible attachment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to stainless steel

Publication: Canadian Journal of Microbiology
November 1983

Abstract

To better understand the interaction between bacteria and surfaces, we studied the irreversible attachment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to a common surfacing material. When brought into contact with the steel, cells began to attach in less than 1 min and the number adhering increased with time. An important physiological variable in attachment was cell motility since adherence decreased at least 90% when flagella were removed by blending. This treatment was shown to be effective because it caused motility loss and not because it removed a structure necessary for adherence. Cell viability was less important since adherence decreased only 50% when the number of viable cells was reduced 4.7 logs by heating or formaldehyde treatment. Significant environmental variables included turbulence and ionic strength. Attachment of motile cells was reduced 90% by agitation, although agitation had little effect on adherence of nonmotile cells. Both motile and nonmotile cells adhered poorly in distilled water with attachment increasing as CaCl2 or NaCl concentration increased to 10 mM. At 100 mM, attachment decreased. Viable cells, both motile and nonmotile, adhered best at a pH of 7 to 8, whereas nonviable cells attached most rapidly at a low pH.

Résumé

Afin de mieux comprendre les interactions entre les bactéries et les surfaces, nous avons étudié la fixation irréversible de Pseudomonas aeruginosa à un matériel de surface très fréquent. Lorsqu'elles viennent en contact avec de l'acier, les cellules commencent à adhérer en moins de 1 min et le nombre augmente avec le temps. Un paramètre physiologique important de cette fixation est la mobilité bactérienne. Ainsi l'adhérence diminue d'au moins 90% lorsque les flagelles sont éliminés par agitation. Il a été démontré que ce traitement est efficace à cause de la perte de la mobilité et non à cause de la perte d'une structure nécessaire à l'adhérence. La viabilité des cellules semble moins importante puisque l'adhérence ne diminue que de seulement 50% lorsque le nombre de cellules viables diminue de 4.7 logs après traitement à la chaleur ou à la formaldéhyde. Les paramètres environnementaux significatifs incluent la turbulence et la forme ionique. La fixation des cellules mobiles est réduite de 90% par agitation même si l'agitation a de fait peu d'influence sur l'adhérence de cellules non-mobiles. Placées dans de l'eau distillée, les bactéries, mobiles ou immobiles, adhèrent très peu mais l'adhérence augmente à mesure que la concentration de CaCl2 ou de NaCl augmente jusqu'à 10 mM. A 100 mM l'adhérence diminue. L'adhérence des bactéries viables, mobiles ou immobiles, est optimale à un pH variant de 7 à 8 tandis que les cellules non-viables adhèrent plus rapidement à un pH plus bas.[Traduit par le journal]
