“…It is an adhesin of the lipoprotein receptor antigen I (LraI) family, which was first described in various bacterial species and assists bacteria to actively move and adhere to other surfaces, including extracellular matrix, salivary agglutinin, other plaque bacteria, as well as receptors on the surface of epithelial cells [14]. Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) is a form of ionized gas that possesses similar numbers of ions and electrons with positive and negative charges [15,16]. In thermal terms, plasma is typically found in two forms, namely the equilibrium plasma, in which ions and electrons show thermodynamic equilibrium, and the non-equilibrium plasma, where electrons show significantly higher temperature as compared to ions and neutrals [17].…”

A total of (40) oral cavity swabs were sampled from various sites of dental caries (pit, fissure and dental roots) from patients who referred to the Dental Clinic at the College of Dentistry, Aliraqia University, Baghdad, Iraq. Initially, the swabs were placed in test tubes supplied with Stuart transport medium and then distributed by streaking on semi-selective Mitis Salivaris agar medium (MSA). The findings indicated that the isolates are gram-positive cocci that are arranged in chains. The isolates were further morphologically and biochemically identified, using the VITEK instrument, revealing only 32.5 % (n= 13) of S. mutans. The nonthermal plasma (cold atmospheric pressure plasma; CAP) has many uses in the area of research and development of clinical application worldwide. According to the biofilm assay, all isolates showed the capability of producing biofilm, with differences in thickness of the formed layer, with 3 isolates (7.5%) forming a strong layer, 6 (15%) forming a moderate layer, and 4 (10%) forming a weak layer. The non-thermal plasma (cold atmospheric pressure plasma; CAP) has many uses in the area of research and development of clinical application worldwide.

“…Advancements in the design of NTP systems have also underlined their potential for several applications in medicine and biology, such as wound healing, promotion of cell proliferation, tissue regeneration and cancer treatment [ 12 , 13 , 14 ]. Furthermore, preliminary studies suggest that NTP could be used to stimulate the motility of spermatozoa collected from asthenozoospermic patients [ 15 , 16 ] and avian species [ 17 , 18 ].…”

Significant antibacterial properties of non-thermal plasma (NTP) have converted this technology into a promising alternative to the widespread use of antibiotics in assisted reproduction. As substantial data available on the specific in vitro effects of NTP on male reproductive cells are currently missing, this study was designed to investigate selected quality parameters of human spermatozoa (n = 51) exposed to diffuse coplanar surface barrier discharge NTP for 0 s, 15 s, 30 s, 60 s and 90 s. Sperm motility characteristics, membrane integrity, mitochondrial activity, production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), DNA fragmentation and lipid peroxidation (LPO) were investigated immediately following exposure to NTP and 2 h post-NTP treatment. Exposure to NTP with a power input of 40 W for 15 s or 30 s was found to have no negative effects on the sperm structure or function. However, a prolonged NTP treatment impaired all the sperm quality markers in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The most likely mechanism of action of high NTP doses may be connected to ROS overproduction, leading to plasma membrane destabilization, LPO, mitochondrial failure and a subsequent loss of motility as well as DNA integrity. As such, our findings indicate that appropriate plasma exposure conditions need to be carefully selected in order to preserve the sperm vitality, should NTP be used in the practical management of bacteriospermia in the future.
