  1. Salmonella surface characterization and adhesion to food and other surfaces Samantha Begnoche Advisor: Dr. Sharon Walker Bioengineering Research Institute for Technical Excellence August 20, 2009

  2. Background • From 1988 – 1995 reported cases varied between 40,000 and 50,000 • Previous projects limited to genotypic nature • Objective: Understand surface chemistries and transport kinetics of Salmonella to keep future outbreaks to a minimum.

  3. Some Facts • Still, approximately 40,000 cases of Salmonella poisoning reported annually • ~400 deaths annually are result of Salmonella • Children, elderly, and immune diseased are most vulnerable

  4. Goals • Short-term work: Characterize strains’ surface chemistries • Three strains focused on: • SGSC 4910 (newport) • SGSC 2377 (enteritidis) • SA 5983 (typhimurium) S. typhimurium respresentation Provided by Berat Haznedaroglu

  5. Incubation Centrifuge Inoculation Methods • Bacteria Preparation - Inoculate bacteria night before - Preculture in LB media for specified time - Harvest – centrifuge, wash in KCl twice, resuspend for stock solution

  6. Characterization methods • Viability • Mix stock solution and dye. Vortex and wait 15 minutes. Count live (green) and dead (red). • Size measurement • Measure length and width using images taken with phase contrast microscope. Calculate spherical radii.

  7. Characterization methods • Hydrophobicity measurement • Using MATH test with n-dodecane, measure the percentage of cells that choose the hydrocarbon versus the electrolyte condition. <40% is hydrophilic • Electrophoretic mobility measurement • Using ZetaPALS, calculate the electrophoretic mobility and zeta potential from a solution diluted to an optical density of .200 to .225 to result in a concentration of about 107 cells.

  8. Parallel plate flow chamber methods • Parallel plate flow chamber • Take picture of cells flowing through at 20 second intervals for set amount of time • Number of cells depositing on the surface is counted and plotted as a function of time • Adhesion rate is calculated from slope

  9. Fluorescent light Parallel plate flow chamber system Fluorescent light

  10. Viability Results • SA 5983: • 1 mM KCl: 81.5 ± 1.7% • 10 mM KCl: 87.4 ± 2.1% • 100 mM KCl: 89.7 ± 11.8%

  11. Size Measurement Results • SA 5983: 0.326 ± 0.113 µm • SGSC 4910: 0.368 ± 0.145 µm • SGSC 2377: 0.317 ± 0.067 µm

  14. Hydrophobicity Results

  15. Electrophoretic Mobility Results

  16. Electrophoretic Mobility Results

  17. Electrophoretic Mobility Results

  18. Parallel Plate Results • SA 5983 exhibits no attachment for 1 mM KCl solution. • Amount of deposition is expected to increase with increasing ionic strength • Also expected to increase at lower rates

  19. Parallel Plate Flow Chamber Results * Data is representative as work is ongoing

  20. Closing • Three strains are very different • As of yet, no inferences can be drawn connecting phenotypic nature and adhesion.

  21. Further work 1 • 96 well plate coated to mimic surface layer of foods • Ultimately: identify properties that inhibit adhesion and a solution to foodborne outbreaks 2 3
