following are the factors requires of the Maintainance of the salmonella :
water activity=0.94
temperature 35-37 Celcius
pH 5.5 or below
salmonella survive longer in humid condition as well
due to all these above factor salmonella survive on the surface. salmonella can survive on a dry surface for 4days- month.
generally speaking, salmonella survive on dry surface for 7-14 weeks and on wet surface salmonella survive for 1-2 months
Hope you got the point.
