New plasma prototype devices may help destroy MRSA - dnaindia.com.
One prototype device has been developed for efficient disinfection of healthy skin (e.g. hands and feet) in hospitals and public spaces where bacteria can pose a lethal threat; and another to shoot bacteria-killing agents into infested chronic wounds and enable a quicker healing process. The devices, described in New Journal of Physics, have been created by German scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics, and Japan-based ADTEC Plasma Technology Ltd.
