Antibacterial Activity of Cold Atmospheric Pressure Argon Plasma against 78 Genetically Different (<b><i>mecA</i></b>, <b><i>luk-P</i></b>, <b><i>agr</i></b> or Capsular Polysaccharide Type) <b><i>Staphylococcus aureus </i></b>Strains

Abstract: Previous studies on the antimicrobial activity of cold atmospheric pressure argon plasma showed varying effects against mecA+ or mecA-Staphylococcus aureus strains. This observation may have important clinical and epidemiological implications. Here, the antibacterial activity of argon plasma was investigated against 78 genetically different S. aureus strains, stratified by mecA, luk-P, agr1-4, or the cell wall capsule polysaccharide types 5 and 8. kINPen09® served as the plasma source for… Show more

“…The microbicidal effect of CAP was observed in vitro [256,257,258,259,260,261] on skin and chronic wounds, and exceeds the effectiveness of CHD, PVP-I, and PHMB. In a 3D epidermis model, CAP displayed dose- and time-dependent compatibility [256]; P. aeruginosa was inactivated without destroying the structure of the epidermis.…”

“…Herbert, Rossaint, Khanna, and Kreyenschmidt () suggested that argon can induce changes in protein conformation, interfere with oxygen receptor sites of enzymes, and can displace oxygen more effectively than nitrogen. DBD‐HVCAP generated with argon gas has promising bacterial inactivation efficacy (Matthes et al., ; Olatunde et al., ). Nevertheless oxygen has been employed as the working gas for generation of ROS, most especially ozone, which has been known as an antimicrobial agent (Olatunde & Benjakul, ).…”
