Effect of monosaccharides and sodium metaperiodate on the attachment of Salmonella cells to BC composites. a Salmonella Enteritidis ATCC 13076, b Salmonella Typhimurium ATCC 14028 and c Salmonella enterica subsp. indica M4 cells were treated with D-Galacturonic acid (D-GalA), D-Mannose (D-Man), L-Rhamnose (L-Rham), L-Arabinose (L-Ara), D-Galactose (D-Gal), D-Glucose (D-Glc), D-Xylose (D-Xyl) and sodium metaperiodate (NaIO4) for 1 h before being allowed to attach to 4 types of BC composites [BC, BCP (0.5 %), BCX (0.5 %), BCP (0.25 %) X (0.25 %)] for 20 min. Numbers of attached cells were enumerated as log CFU/cm2. Different uppercase letters indicate significant differences in bacterial attachment between types of composites (One-way ANOVA & Tukey’s pairwise comparison at p < 0.05). Different lowercase letters indicate significant differences in bacterial attachment within each type of composite whereas the absence of lowercase letters indicate no significant differences in bacterial attachment within each type of composite (One-way ANOVA & Tukey’s pairwise comparison at p < 0.05)
