Abstract

We used a polyethylene surface to study the adherence of various urinary pathogens to a representative inert surface. The bacteria were suspended in filter-sterilized urine during this adhesion study, and differential adhesion was clearly demonstrated. Pseudomonas aeruginosa adhered most avidly and formed large microcolonies that were surrounded by an extensive amorphous matrix. Staphylococcus saprophyticus also formed microcolonies on the surface of the plastic droppers. In general, piliated strains of Escherichia coli adhered less avidly than the other organisms, but more avidly than nonpiliated strains; however, one piliated strain of E. coli adhered very poorly and behaved like a nonpiliated strain.
