Popis:	Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic disease-causing bacterium, with a number of strains exhibiting a mucus-forming (mucoid) phenotype during infection, producing biofilms with a surrounding matrix containing alginate. Atmospheric pressure nonthermal plasmas (APNTP) are an emerging, potential approach to control biofilms across a range of medical and industrial applications. In this study, we examine the effect of plasma treatment on P. aeruginosa biofilms from clinical samples of cystic fibrosis patients, exhibiting both mucoid and non-mucoid types. Biofilms of mucoid strains exhibit significantly elevated APNTP tolerance (p
