A general picture of plasma medicine. (a) Schematic illustration of the biological effect of CAP. Here, biofilm was used as an example [26]. (b) Growth inhibition of CAP source (DBD) on bacteria (S. Typhimurium) grown on LB agar plates: control (left) and DBD treatment (right) [31]. (c) Confocal scanning laser microscopic imaging of strong bacterial death in a CAP-treated biofilm grown on polycarbonate coupons. Live cells and dead cells were present in green and red, respectively [30]. (d) The improved wound healing of the inflamed ulcer on a human leg by CAP treatment [39]. (e) Tumor inhibition effect of CAP jet treatment on subcutaneously xenografted bladder tumor on mice [8]. (f) The inactivation of feline calicivirus and the inhibited infectivity on its host Crandell-Reese feline kidney cells by CAP treatment [48].
