[Adhesion of Acinetobacter spp. to para-xylene].

Abstract

Hydrophobicity of 200 of Acinetobacter spp. strains was defined by the BATH (Bacterial Adhesion to Hydrocarbon Test) method of Rosenberg et al. 48.0% strains of Acinetobacter spp. adhered to para-xylene. 40.0% of strains showed waek hydrophobicity, 7.5% moderate and one strain strongly adhered to para-xylene. A. baumannii strains adhered in 52.2%, A. junii in 42.1% and 20.0% in A. haemolyticus. Significantly we find weak adhesion to para-xylene than mild and strong. Mostly adhesion was discovered in A. baumannii and A. junii than in A. haemolyticus. Results show that Acinetobacter spp. has adhesive properties to para-xylene.
