Treatment of Streptococcus mutans biofilms with a nonthermal atmospheric plasma

Aims: A nonthermal atmospheric plasma, designed for biomedical applications, was tested for its antimicrobial activity against biofilm cultures of a key cariogenic bacterium Streptococcus mutans. Methods and Results: The Strep. mutans biofilms were grown with and without 0·15% sucrose. A chlorhexi...
