This contribution outlines the scientific cooperation with the Chair of Biotechnology, Biotechnical Faculty, University of Ljubljana. The collaboration started one year ago with the applicative project entitled “Microbial adhesion management on material surfaces“. In this project the researchers from the following institutions are included: Faculty of Health Sciences, Biotechnical Faculty and Veterinary Faculty, University of Ljubljana, Institute “Jožef Stefan”, and Iskra Pio, d.o.o. Within this project we study interactions between microorganisms and material surfaces. The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of surface roughness and hydrophobicity on the degree of microorganism adhesion. In the first part the scientific background will be stated and the project will be described. Importance of this research on the food safety strategy in primary production will be given. We will conclude with the message for the future.
