Interactions of plasma-activated water with biofilms: inactivation, dispersal effects and mechanisms of action
27 Jan 2021
Abstract excerpt
Biofilms have several characteristics that ensure their survival in a range of adverse environmental conditions, including high cell numbers, close cell proximity to allow easy genetic exchange (e.g., for resistance genes), cell communication and protection through the production of an exopolysaccharide matrix. Together, these characteristics make it difficult to kill undesirable biofilms, despite the many...
