Plasma-activated water (PAW) is an innovative antimicrobial solution with great potential in enhancing food safety, advancing healthcare, and supporting environmental sustainability. This thesis investigates the inactivation mechanisms of \textit{Escherich ...

Atmospheric pressure low power plasma jets operating in noble gases are a widespread tool in plasma medicine studies. We present experimental results obtained in one such device, which combine physical, chemical and biological measurements to assess the ef ...

Plasma-activated water (PAW) is increasingly recognized for its bactericidal properties. To advance this technology toward practical applications and deepen the understanding of its mechanisms, it is crucial to study the storage stability of PAW, focusing ...

The need for sustainable and reliable decontamination methods is driven by concerns regarding antibiotic resistance, as well as environmental and cost -efficiency challenges associated with traditional methods. Plasmaactivated water (PAW) holds significant ...

While atmospheric pressure plasma sources are emerging as potentially innovative instruments in medicine, some aspects of the interaction between plasma and biological substrates remain unclear. The high diversity in both sources and applications in the li ...

Single-cell impedance flow cytometry (IFC) is a rapid, label-free diagnostic capable of resolving the dielectric properties of individual cells. Here, single-cell IFC is employed to investigate the effects of plasma-activated water (PAW) on E. coli. This d ...

Plasma-activated water (PAW) is an emerging antimicrobial agent with promising applications in bacterial inactivation. The PAW samples are generated by non-contact exposure of deionized water to a surface dielectric barrier discharge plasma and are charact ...

We study the bactericidal efficacy of surface dielectric barrier discharge low-temperature plasma treatments, powered by nanosecond high voltage pulses. We achieve similar to 4-log reduction in Escherichia coli population, after 10 min treatments, at a dis ...
