Antibacterial Applications of Low-Pressure Plasma on Degradation of Multidrug Resistant V. cholera

Abstract

: The existence of Vibrio cholera (V. cholera) is a major health problem in many parts of the world; therefore, the treatments of V. cholera have always remained necessary for public safety, health, and environmental protection. In the last few decades, plasma discharges have proven to be a novel technique of sterilization against infectious bacteria such as V. cholera. In this research, a low-pressure plasma (LPP) technique has been introduced for the degradation of multidrug resistant V. cholera. The V. cholera strains with 107 CFUs (colony-forming units) were treated by low-pressure plasma, with and without H2O2 injection into the sterilization chamber, to investigate and report the adverse effects of plasma on V. cholera. The results demonstrated that plasma treatment has significant effects on the degradation of V. cholera in the presence of H2O2 vapors inside the plasma sterilization chamber. The time-course study of the bactericidal effects revealed that there is no regeneration or increase in the number of V. cholera colonies after plasma treatment.

Thermally stratified Cu–Al2O3/water hybrid nanofluid flow with the impact of an inclined magnetic field, viscous dissipation and heat source/sink across a vertically stretching cylinder

“…The flow of blood in a tapered complex wavy curved channel in the presence of double nanoparticles was discussed by Abbasi et al [26]. The antibacterial effects of low-pressure plasma on the degradation of multidrug-resistant Vibrio cholera were investigated by Manzoor et al [27].…”

Non‐Newtonian blood flow with magnetic nanoparticles in a W‐shaped stenosed arterial segment: A numerical study

“…It is worth‐mentioning about a very recent Physics Guided Deep Neural Network approach for predicting viscosity of a nanofluid 29,30 . A series of recent analytical and numerical studies 31–58 enhance understanding in this context. In these studies, the effort has mainly been put towards modeling the behavior of relevant non‐Newtonian fluids.…”

Entropy Minimization for Generalized Newtonian Fluid Flow between Converging and Diverging Channels

“…Furthermore, Dogonchi and Ganji [ 26 ] investigated the impact of velocity and temperature slip on the flow of water-based nanofluids in converging and diverging channels. Extensive reports in recent years have focused on heat-transport mechanisms during nanofluid flow in different scenarios [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ].…”
