Attachment of Yersinia enterocolitica to stainless steel surfaces at 35, 21, and 10°C was investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Cells adhered at all three temperatures, but, in general, the greatest number of adhered cells were observed at pH 8 and 21°C. Multi-flagellated cells were noted under these growth conditions. When grown at pH 9.5 and 21°C, fibrils were observed between cells and extending to the stainless steel surface. Fewer cells with flagella were seen at this pH. Adherence may be related to the flagella and any exopolymer surrounding the cells.
