Efficacy of Tissue Tolerable Plasma (TTP) against Ixodes ricinus

چکیده
The efficacy of Tissue Tolerable Plasma (TTP) against ticks was tested, as data from the literature has demonstrated its efficacy against other acari. The study was carried out by using the KINPen09 (Argon as carrier gas) on Ixodes ricinus (n=24). Treatment times of 1 and 3 minutes led to a reversible inactivation of the ticks. After 5 min of treatment, they died. Thanks to the acaricidal effect of TPP, a new treatment strategy using the KINPen09 for tick-infested pets is now available.

Efficacy of chlorhexidine, polihexanide and tissue-tolerable plasma against Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms grown on polystyrene and silicone materials.
BACKGROUND The formation of biofilms is crucial in the pathogenesis of many acute and subacute microbial infections, including chronic wounds and foreign-body-related infections. Topical antimicrobial therapy with chemical antiseptics or physical treatment with tissue-tolerable plasma (TTP) may be promising to control bacterial infection. METHODS We assessed the efficacy of 0.1% chlorhexidine...
