Abstract :
Application of atmospheric pressure glow is spreading rapidly in Bio-Medical applications and exploration in new areas, micro-biology, organic chemistry and medicine needs collaboration with different fields. In this work, we present an experimental study on the antibacterial effect of high-frequency, atmospheric-pressure glow, against various microorganisms: Geobacillus stearothermophilus, Bacillus atrophaeus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella enteritidis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans.
