  • The adhesion of bacteria to austenitic stainless steel (AISI 316L) with different surface finishes
    Hočevar, Matej, 1982- ...
    Adhesion of bacteria and a biofilm formation on stainless steel is enhancing the material corrosion and presents a chronic source of the microbial contamination in food and medical industries. The ... aim of out research is to examine the effect of the surface roughness and topography of austenitic stainless steel (AISI 316L) on the adhesion of bacteria. The surface morphology of the samples was analysed by the atomic force microscope (AFM), the contact profilometer, the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the contact angle goniometer. Different surface finishes of stainless steel correspond to different roughness (R[sub]a) values. Escherichia coli (Exb-V1) was exposed to different surfaces. Based on the literature data, we hypothesized that the surface roughness and furrows of the similar size as bacteria or smaller, will affect the bacterial adhesion. So far, it was shown that the bacteria, for their attachment, prefer cracks and scratches over smooth surfaces.
