Evidence of temporal postdischarge decontamination of bacteria by gliding electric discharges: application to Hafnia alvei.
This study aimed to characterize the bacterium-destroying properties of a gliding arc plasma device during electric discharges and also under temporal postdischarge conditions (i.e., when the discharge was switched off). This phenomenon was reported for the first time in the literature in the case of the plasma destruction of microorganisms. When cells of a model bacterium, Hafnia alvei, were e...
متن کاملRapid inactivation of bacterial spores using plasma activated water: development, species identification and sporicidal mechanism
This study demonstrates that rapid inactivation (> 6 log reductions in 10 seconds) of C. difficile spores on dry surfaces can be achieved using plasma activated water (PAW) generated in situ or in a form of fine droplets. The concentration of peroxynitrite and pH level in the PAW likely play a critical role in the rapid sporicidal efficacy, leading to spore coat damage and membrane integrity loss.
متن کاملEfficiency and Mechanism of Pathogenic bacteria inactivation by Non-Thermal Plasma Activated Water
Four pathogenic bacteria were treated by plasma activated water (PAW) with different duration. The inactivation was evaluated via colony forming unit (CFU) count and fluorescent spectroscope. After PAW treatment 20 min, Effective inactivation of S. mutans, S. aureus and E. coli was achieved, while weak inactivation effect to C. albicans. It was inferred that hydrogen peroxide and atomic oxygen ...
متن کاملParticle in Cell-Monte Carlo Collisions of a Plasma Column Driven by Surface Wave Plasma Discharges
In this work, applicability of Particle in Cell-Monte Carlo Collisions (PIC-MCC) simulation method for better understanding of the plasma physical mechanisms and real important aspects of a plasma column driven by surface wave plasma discharges that is used in plasma antennas is examined. Via the implementation of geometry and physical parameters of the plasma column to an Object Oriented PIC-M...
متن کاملMicrobial Inactivation by Ultrasound
The Food Technology group of the University of Zaragoza has investigated the effect of ultrasound and its combination with other factors on the microbial inactivation since the early 90’s. Our group designed an equipment that allows to apply ultrasound under pressure treatments at sublethal (Mano-Sonication; MS), and at lethal temperatures (Mano-Thermo-Sonication; MTS) to liquid products. The i...
