Cell surface charge and hydrophobicity of Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli 0157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes,Salmonella typhimurium, Serratia marcescens, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidiswere determined by hydrocarbon adherence, hydrophobic interaction, and electrostatic interaction chromatography.Surface charge and hydrophobicity were compared with the initial attachment values and rates ofattachment of the bacteria to meat surfaces. There was a linear correlation between the relative negative chargeon the bacterial cell surface and initial attachment to lean beef muscle (r2 = 0.885) and fat tissue (r2 = 0.777).Hydrophobicity correlated well with attachment to fat tissue only. The relative hydrophobicity of eachbacterium was dependent on the specific method of determination, with wide variations noted betweenmethods.
