Efficiency of Pathogenic Bacteria Inactivation by Non-Thermal Plasma Activated Water

Non-thermal plasma is a promising bactericidal method due to the existence of ultraviolet, high energy electrons, reactive oxygen species, and reactive nitrogen species in plasma. Recently, the plasma activated water (PAW) has attracted more and more attention. In our study, PAW was applied to four different bacteria: Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Escherichia…
