Enhancing the antibacterial effect of iron oxide and silver nanoparticles by extremely low frequency electric fields (ELF-EF) against < em > S. aureus < /em >
Electromagn Biol Med. 2023 May 8:1-15. doi: 10.1080/15368378.2023.2208610. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStaphylococcus aureus is the cause of many infectious and inflammatory diseases and a lot of studies aim to discover alternative ways for infection control and treatment rather than antibiotics. This work attempts to reduce bacterial activity and growth characteristics of Staphylococcus aureus using nanoparticles (iron oxide nanoparticles and silver nanoparticles) and extremely low frequency electric fields (ELF-EF). Bacterial suspensions of Staphylococcus aureus were used to prepare the samples, which were evenly divid...
