Abstrakt: The elaboration of new methods for controlling bacterial infections becomes increasingly important, especially in view of constraints of standard antibiotic therapy confronted with the expansion of resistant and biofilm-producing strains. The implementation of electromagnetic field as an agent impairing the growth of pathogenic bacteria may present one of the potential solutions. This paper describes the meaning of electromagnetic field as the factor naturally influencing bacterial physiology and communication processes, also reviewing its previous and future potential therapeutic utilization.
