TABLE 2.

A summary of the destruction of bacteria by MW in vivo.

Experimental setup
MW frequency (GHz)	Energy/power	Exposure temperature (°C)	Exposure time	Biological target/object	Effects	References
2.45	25 W	41–45	20 min/day for 7 days	Bone infection (Rat model)	MW can increase blood perfusion and kill bacteria.	Qi et al., 2019
2.45	0.1 W/cm2	50–55	20 min/day for 21 days	Osteomyelitis (Rabbit model)	This system, Fe3O4/CNT/Gent, is proven to efficiently target and eradicate MRSA-infected rabbit tibia osteomyelitis.	Qiao et al., 2020
-	8 W	55	5 min	Osteomyelitis (Rabbit model)	MW thermal effects and ROS resulted in death of the bacteria	Wei et al., 2021
