Inactivation and sensitization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by microplasma jet array for treating otitis media
Abstract Otitis media (OM), known as a middle ear infection, is the leading cause of antibiotic prescriptions for children. With wide-spread use of antibiotics in OM, resistance to antibiotics continues to decrease the efficacy of the treatment. Furthermore, as the presence of a middle ear biofilm h...
