Cold atmospheric air plasma sterilization against spores and other microorganisms of clinical interest.
Physical cold atmospheric surface microdischarge (SMD) plasma operating in ambient air has promising properties for the sterilization of sensitive medical devices where conventional methods are not applicable. Furthermore, SMD plasma could revolutionize the field of disinfection at health care facilities. The antimicrobial effects on Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria of clinical relevanc...
متن کاملdesign and construction of triplet atmospheric cold plasma jet for sterilization
in this paper, construction of triplet atmospheric plasma jet using argon, air, oxygen and nitrogen gases is reported. bactericidal effect of the plasma jet is also investigated. to that end, longitudinal geometric configuration for the electrodes was chosen because it would increase the jet length. electrical characteristics, jet length dependencies on the applied voltage and gas flow rate wer...
متن کاملGas plasma sterilization of microorganisms and mechanisms of action.
The use of true gas plasmas for the inactivation of microorganisms is an area of dynamic research. Many types of gases are used as a source of plasma, and different plasma production methods have been applied. The antimicrobial mechanisms of oxygen-based gas plasmas may be due to an etching effect on microbial structures, particularly bacterial endospores resulting in shrinkage. By contrast, th...
متن کاملEffect of Cold Atmospheric Plasma on Gene Expression and Methylation of Genes Involved in Colorectal Cancer
Background and purpose: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is ranked as the second most common cancer in men and the third most common cancer in women worldwide. Routine treatments have many side effects and little efficiency. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) on epigenetic changes of some genes involved in CRC progression. Materials and methods: Prolif...
متن کاملIn package inactivation of Bacillus atrophaeus spores using high voltage atmospheric cold plasma
Introduction: Hospital acquired infections are of a great concern, considering a large number of infections reported every year. Sterilization is an important step in healthcare industry that is attained by utilizing conventional sterilization approaches. It includes heat treatment, use of chemicals like ethylene oxide, hydrogen peroxide, and gamma radiation. These methods have drawbacks such a...
