TL;DR: It is proposed that one of the effects of exposing E. coli cells to MW radiation under sublethal temperature conditions is that the cell surface undergoes a modification that is electrokinetic in nature, resulting in a reversible MW-induced poration of the cell membrane.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the attribution of such effects to non-thermal mechanisms is not justified due to poor control protocols and because of the possibility that an unmeasurable thermal force, relating to instantaneous temperature (Ti) that occurs during MW processing, has not been taken into account.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed and verified a "cold" microwave treatment that could lead to the inactivation of two common pathogenic species of bacteria, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, in raw meats.

TL;DR: EMF-induced permeabilization may represent an innovative, alternative cell permeability technique for applications in biomedical engineering, cell drug delivery and gene therapy.

TL;DR: Results from the application of this new microwave (MW) sterilization technique to bovine pericardium showed that near-complete inactivation of the contaminant bacteria was achieved and it was concluded that nonthermal in activation of pathogenic bacteria from bovines pericARDial biomaterial could be achieved using microwave radiation.
