Bacterial adhesion on food contact surfaces

Bacterial contamination of food contact surfaces can cause foodborne outbreaks. In this study, the bacterial adhesion of different bacterial species on food contact surfaces is considered. For a better understanding the bacterial adhesion, first, the contact surfaces and bacteria need to be characterized. Later the bacterial adhesion extent on contact surfaces can be determined by different techniques. The adhesion results can be, at the end, connected to the food safety issues and quality of the food item.
