TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the literature on plasma sterilization is presented, where three basic mechanisms are involved in the plasma inactivation of microorganisms: (a) direct destruction by UV irradiation of the genetic material of micro organisms; (b) erosion of the microorganisms atom by atom, through intrinsic photodesorption by ultraviolet irradiation to form volatile compounds combining atoms intrinsic to the micro organisms.

TL;DR: In this article, the physicochemical processes at play during plasma sterilization are identified and analyzed, based on the specific characteristics of the spore survival curves, and the number of UV photons successfully interacting with the genetic material increases.

TL;DR: There is a correlation between in vitro biofilm-producing capacity by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus and unfavorable evolution after ESS, suggesting a role for biofilm production in chronic sinusitis.

TL;DR: In this article, a parametric study of the operating conditions of such a system was conducted, which showed that the species participating in the killing of spores are oxygen atoms and ultraviolet (UV) photons.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reevaluate the link between Candida albicans and denture-related stomatitis according to a modified Newton classification, which reflects the classic types of inflammation as well as the extent to which the tissue is affected.
