Antibiotic-Resistant and Non-Resistant Bacteria Display Similar Susceptibility to Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma
31 Aug 2020
Abstract excerpt
Here, we examined whether antibiotic-resistant and non-resistant bacteria show a differential susceptibility to plasma treatment. Escherichia coli DH5α were transformed with pPRO-EX-HT-CAT, which encodes an ampicillin resistance gene and chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene, and then treated with a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma torch. Plasma treatment reduced the viable cell count of E. coli...
