Autofluorescence-guided Removal of Bacterial Biofilms from Tissues Using Cold Atmospheric Pressure Plasma (CAP).

Cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAP) has the potential to completely remove biofilms from surfaces. The goal of this study is to employ the autofluorescence nature of bacterial biofilms to guide the removal of these biofilms using a CAP scalpel. biofilms, which produce a green fluorescence under 405 nm UV light, were grown on 12 chicken samples.
