| Popis: | Atmospheric pressure plasma jets are an abundant source of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) which can inactivate bacteria. A few clinical trials were performed showing the huge potential of plasma technology in reducing the bacteria load in wounds and stimulating wound healing1. Many studies on inactivation of planktonic bacteria have been reported. However for bacteria suspended in buffered solutions, most studies show a reduced plasma bactericidal efficacy. Recent results also show effective inactivation of biofilms using plasmas2. |
