Fig 6. The effect of multiple 18 GHz EMF exposures on the viability of Staphylococcus aureus cells.
Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 (shaded white) and Staphylococcus aureus CIP 65.8T (dotted grey) cell viability as a function of time and number of EMF exposures. The cell viability of the two Staphylococcus aureus strains is displayed in colony forming units (cfu) per 100 μL. The untreated cells preserved their viability throughout the 54 min period, declining slightly to 97 ± 1% for both strains. The x-axis represents the number of viable cells present (expressed as a percentage) after corresponding EMF exposures and the y-axis represents the number of EMF exposures.
