Resumo:
Milk is a food rich in nutrients, these nutrients may favor the adhesion of
pathogenic microorganisms or deteriorates on different surfaces that come into
contact with milk. Committing your quality. The process of bacterial adhesion
depends on several factors. Among them, hydrophobicity, surface energy and
electrostatic interactions. The objective of this study was to investigate the
adhesion of bacteria to surfaces that are used in milk production. To obtain the
results, a qualitative study was carried out by means of a bibliographical
research. Where it was possible to note that there is a possible direct
relationship between the formation of biofilms and the production of adhesionrelated
virulence factors. In summary, it was possible to conclude that a
primordial step to prevent or reduce the process of adhesion and formation of
biofilm in different surfaces that come in direct contact with milk, is the
hygienization in an efficient way.
