Abstract excerpt
Non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasmas have an antiseptic activity beneficial in different medical applications. In a genome-wide screening, hydrogen peroxide and superoxide were identified as key species contributing to the antibacterial effects of plasma while [FeS] cluster proteins emerged as potential cellular targets. We investigated the impact of plasma treatment on [FeS] cluster homeostasis in...
