4 Antimicrobial nanoparticles produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are highly reactive oxygen-based molecules that disrupt bacterial functions. This is a powerful mechanism for combating ...

THE frequent assumption that bacterial spores are impermeable and thereby metabolically dormant, unstainable and resistant to environmental stress has not heretofore been tested by experiment.

Using a unique plasma device called ReCAP, designed by industrial manufacturer Fourth State, the research team exposed bacterial cultures to controlled mixtures of RNS and ROS. They grew the ...

This integrated approach enabled the researchers to directly correlate specific molecular changes with bacterial survival mechanisms, providing concrete evidence of how the RNS/ROS balance ...
