摘要
Bacterial biofilms are microbial communities that are less susceptible to standard killing methods than free-living bacteria. Gas-discharge plasmas were used to treat biofilms for various exposure times. After 5-min plasma exposure, 90% of culturable cells were removed. Atomic-force-microscope images that reveal the sequential changes in cell morphology occurring during plasma treatment are presented.
