Bactericidal effects induced by air transient spark with electrospray and/or PAW linked with RONS chemistry enhanced by other plasma agentsTarabová B., Lukeš P., Doležalová E., Menthéour R., Machala Z. |
Abstract: We focused on the bactericidal effects induced by the direct treatment by air transient spark discharge in combination with electrospray, as well as on the bactericidal effects induced by plasma activated water (PAW) solutions. Plasma induced chemical changes in PAW (especially formation of ONOOH) were correlated with the antibacterial effect, sublethal injury of bacteria and peroxidation of membrane lipids. The electroporation induced by TS discharge may enhance the bactericidal effect induced by RONS and chemical changes.
