Abstract
The aim of this work has been to analyse the effects of temperature on polystyrene adhesion ofPseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853. The bacterial adhesion (expressed as percentage of hydrophobicity) has been measured during the cultivation of this strain at different temperature of growth (15, 30 and 47°C). Data obtained showed that an increase in temperature is a factor that increasing the virulence of the strain in terms of adhesion to polystyrene surfaces. This kind of experiments surely brings important information concerning the prevention of nosocomial infection.
