This study aimed to evaluate the ability of adhesion, the kinetics of separation, the pattern of biofilm formation of strains of S. aureus isolated from different Food and Nutrition Services from João Pessoa - PB, when cultured in meat-based broth and vegetable-based broth, and incubated at temperatures of 28ºC and 7°C for an extended time (24 72 h). Still, we evaluated the effect of applying sanitizers sodium hypochlorite (250 mg/L) and peracetic acid (30 mg/L) at inactivating bacterial cells in the biofilm matrix formed previously. These experiments were used as coupons (2 x 2 cm) of polypropylene and stainless steel AISI 304, whereas these materials are widely used in the composition of surfaces, equipment and / or utensils used in various types of food services. The results showed a high adhesion capacity of the strains tested in meat-based broth and vegetable-based broth with counts above 5 log CFU/cm2, regardless of surface type and incubation temperature. The detachment of cells on the surface was at least 103 during the first 6 CFU/cm2 contact with agar for both types of substrate used, featuring a high persistence over a prolonged incubation time (24 to 72h). There was not a clear influence from the surface and the temperature used to evaluate the adhesion. In general, for both types of substrate was shown a similar pattern of biofilm formation when strains were subjected to different combinations of surface types and growth temperatures. The number of cells (105-107 CFU/cm2) required for biofilm formation was observed in all experimental systems already after 3 days of incubation followed by a linear decrease after the 6th day, with the exception of strain S28 grown in vegetablebased broth, which showed values around 104 CFU/cm2 the first 24 hours of incubation. A range from 2.6 to 3.7 log CFU/cm2 for strains incubated meat-based broth and 2.0 to 3.3 log CFU/cm2 for strains incubated in vegetable-based broth was observed in reducing cells in the matrix of the biofilm caused by peracetic acid while the sodium hypochlorite reduction was about 2.1 to 2.7 log CFU/cm2 and 1.5 to 2.1 CFU/cm2 for strains grown in meat-based broth and vegetables, respectively. From the results obtained, it can be concluded that the strains tested showed a high capacity for adhesion and biofilm formation on food contact surfaces when exposed to different culture media and environmental characteristics. Furthermore, the sanitizers used, although reducing the number of adhered cells, demonstrate a certain ineffectiveness in removing cells from the biofilm matrix considering the number of remaining cells found after the process of applying sanitizers.
