Résumé

The capability of Arcobacter butzleri to attach to various water distribution pipe surfaces, such as stainless steel, copper, and plastic, was evaluated using scanning electron microscopy. Results indicated that Arcobacter cells easily attached to all surface types and the number of attached cells depended on the length of exposure and temperatures (4 and 20 °C). Extracellular fibrils were observed on the stainless steel surface, especially after 72 h of contact times at both refrigeration and ambient temperatures. In addition, the surface energy value of each material was estimated by contact angle measurements using water, alpha-bromonaphthalene, and dimethylsulfoxide.
