Abstract

The comparative study of the action of microwave radiation and hydrogen peroxide, as well as their combined action, on the viability and ultrastructure of P. aeruginosa cells has been made. The combined use of microwave radiation and hydrogen peroxide has been shown to decrease the viability of P. aeruginosa 1.5-2 times in comparison with the isolated action of each factor. The electron microscopic study of the ultrastructure of cells have shown the deterioration of the surface structures, nuclear and ribosomal apparatus of the cells under the isolated action of each of the above-mentioned factors or under their combined action. The morphological picture of these changes has proved to be different. The maximum changes in the ultrastructure of P. aeruginosa cells have been registered after the combined action of these bactericidal factors.

Main findings

Combined microwave radiation plus hydrogen peroxide decreased P. aeruginosa viability by 1.5–2 times compared with the isolated action of each factor. Electron microscopy showed deterioration of surface structures and the nuclear and ribosomal apparatus under isolated or combined exposures, with maximum ultrastructural changes after combined action.

Outcomes measured

cell viability
cell ultrastructure (electron microscopy)

Limitations

No microwave exposure parameters (frequency, power/SAR, duration) reported in the abstract.
No sample size or quantitative ultrastructure metrics reported in the abstract.
In vitro bacterial study; relevance to human health outcomes is not addressed in the abstract.
