Abstract
- An immunonoglobulin solution containing IgA, IgG and IgM was used to prevent theformation of Pseudomonas fluorescens ( P. fluorescens ) biofilms on carbonsteel and two different types of stainless steel (SS) of industrial grade. A marked inhibition ofbacterial adhesion was found when an immunoglobulin film was formed on the metal surface priorto the immersion of the sample in bacterial cultures. Microscopic techniques like scanning electronmicroscopy (SEM) and environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) were used forassessing adhesion inhibition. The electrochemical behavior of the steels was evaluated by meansof potentiodynamic runs, corrosion potential vs. time evolution and linear polarization resistancetechniques applied in the presence and the absence of the immunoglobulins.
