In this work, we report the effectiveness of magnetic hyperthermia as a potential disinfection method against food spoilage microorganisms. High structural-magnetic quality magnetite nanoparticles have been found to be effective against bacterial microorganisms in solution under an oscillating magnetic field. Samples containing both magnetite nanoparticles and Pseudomonas fluorescens cells in aqueous solution h...
This work evaluated the effect of magnetic hyperthermia (MH) on planktonic cells and biofilms of a major food spoilage bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens and its performance compared to a conventional direct heating (DH) technique. The results showed that MH had a greater and faster bactericidal effect, promoting a significant reduction in cell viability (≥3 Log CFU) in planktonic and biofilm cells, and leading ...
Disinfection of surfaces is a challenging task aggravated by bacteria's capacity to form biofilms, which enables them to survive and resist a wide variety of antimicrobial agents and hostile conditions. Potential application of magnetic hyperthermia (MH) as a new disinfection method against biofilms has been recently proposed however, studies comparing its performance and effectiveness on planktonic and biofilm...
