Effect of non-thermal plasma on AHL-dependent QS systems and biofilm formation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Difference between non-hospital and clinical isolates

Non-thermal plasma (NTP), generated by DC cometary discharge with a metallic grid at atmospheric pressure, was used to eradicate biofilm of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V carriers. The NTP exposure may reduce the ability of signal molecules to cause quorum sensing (QS) response...
