Modulation of Staphylococcus Aureus Biofilm by Electromagnetic Radiation

Abstract: Mobile communication systems are undoubtedly an environmental source of electromagnetic radiation (EMR). Although the direct health effect of a cell phone to human is still elusive, the effect to unicellular organisms is rather apparent. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of EMR on development of bacterial biofilm. Microtitration plates with four strains of Staphylococcus aureus were exposed to electromagnetic field of frequencies 1-5 GHz, which are used in mobile phones. The results showed mostl… Show more

“…In contrast, the ability to form biofilm by Staphylococcus aureus was not affected by short period exposure to mobile waves [Mohd-zain and Buniyamin, 2012]. Moreover, the exposure of S. aureus to mobile phone waves resulted in decreased biofilm formation ability at frequencies of 1, 2, and 3 GHz, and increased biofilm growth at frequencies of 4 and 5 GHz [Bucko et al, 2020].…”
