Generally, Salmonella strains adhered in great extent to stainless steel and in the lowest extent to both
polymers, while no significant differences on the number of adhered cells were detected among the other
materials assayed. It can also be observed that, S. Enteritidis 358 is the strain that adheres in great extent,
followed by strain CC, 355 and 357. Besides, no correlation was observed between the extent of
adhesion and the hydrophobicity of the tested materials. Actually, stainless steel (hydrophobic material)
presents the highest number of adhered cells while both polymers (also hydrophobic materials) present
