Candida albicans biofilm inactivated by cold plasma treatment in vitro and in vivo

Abstract: Fungal infections induced by Candida albicans have increased worldwide due to emerging resistance to antifungal agents, which is largely caused by biofilm formation. Thus, a new and effective antimicrobial strategy is urgently required in treatment of C. albicans biofilm‐associated infections. In this study, the inactivation effects of cold plasma treatment for C. albicans biofilm are assessed in vitro and in vivo. In vitro studies indicate that C. albicans in suspension and the C. albicans biofilm are inactiv… Show more

“…Infections caused by C. albicans are associated with their ability to form a biofilm. Several studies proved the positive effect of plasma on biofilm inactivation [ 82 , 83 , 84 ]. The complete killing of C. albicans cells in the biofilm was observed after 8 min of plasma treatment [ 84 ].…”

“…Plasma treatment is also indicated for effective disruption of fungi biofilm. The in vitro and in vivo inactivation effects of cold plasma treatment on C. albicans biofilm indicated significant inactivation effects [131]. A similar study demonstrated that both gas plasma and plasma activated water treatment decreases of A. flavus metabolic activity and spore counts, with maximal reductions of 2.2 and 0.6 log10 units for gas plasma and plasma-activated water, respectively.…”
