Surface barrier discharges for Escherichia coli biofilm inactivation: Modes of action and the importance of UV radiation.
Cold plasma generated in air at atmospheric pressure is an extremely effective antimicrobial agent, with proven efficacy against clinically relevant bacterial biofilms. The specific mode of bacterial inactivation is highly dependent upon the configuration of the plasma source used. In this study, th...
