Enhancement Effect of Static Magnetic Field on Bactericidal Activity
This in vitro study reports that a static magnetic field (SMF) combined with paramagnetic calcium-polypyrrole nanoparticles (Ca-PPy) markedly increases bactericidal activity against E. coli and S. aureus. The authors attribute the enhanced killing to increased reactive oxygen species generation and associated membrane disruption, with computational analysis suggesting altered radical-pair transitions under magnetic fields. The abstract frames SMF as potentially biocompatible and useful for bactericidal applications, while also noting broader biological impacts of electromagnetic fields.
