Fig. 2From: Safety and bactericidal efficacy of cold atmospheric plasma generated by a flexible surface Dielectric Barrier Discharge device against Pseudomonas aeruginosa in vitro and in vivoIn vitro antibacterial efficacy of CAP. Matriderm® scaffolds inoculated with approximately 105 CFU PAO1 for 30 min were exposed to CAP for 1–4 min. Results are expressed as the number of surviving bacteria in log10 (CFU/mL) versus the exposure period to CAP. Data represent the means of at least three independent experiments performed in duplicate. Statistical differences compared to CAP-exposed samples are indicated: *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001 (MWU)Back to article page
