| Description | This study investigates the plasma treatment of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tubes as a possibility to alter properties of Pseudomonas aeruginosa cell biofilms formatted on the inner surface of tubes. We observed the ability of plasma treatment to remove biofilms and inactivate the biofilm forming cells. |
