Acinetobacter baumannii is a typically short, almost round, rod-shaped(coccobacillus) Gram-negative bacterium. It can be an opportunistic pathogen inhumans, affecting people with compromised immune systems, and it is becomingincreasingly important as a hospital-associated (nosocomial) infection. It hasalso been isolated from environmental soil and water samples. In this work,unlike conventional medical methods like antibiotics, the influence ofatmospheric-pressure cold plasma on this bacterium is evaluated by means of acolony count technique and scanning electron microscopy. The plasma used hererefers to streamers axially propagating into a helium channel penetrating theatmospheric air. The plasma is probed with high resolution optical emissionspectroscopy and copious reactive species are unveiled under low-temperatureconditions. Based on the experimental results, post-treatment (delayed)biochemical effects on Acinetobacter baumannii and morphological modificationsappear dominant, leading to complete deactivation of this bacterium.
