I have found out that antibiotics just doesn't cut it on bacteria now. So to counter this problem Scientist theroized that plasma could be a good substitute to kill bacteria. Plasma is an ionized gas, it can also be called the fourth state of matter. Most of the time it is found in a heated state, however in this case science have recently found that it can be used in a cold state. And in this state the plasma can kill bacteria such as biofilm, a bacteria that has became resistant to antibiotics, without hurt human tissue. Studies have shown that cold plasma has been most most effective. In one study, 99% of bacteria was killed in a petri dish, another has shown that 90% of bacteria was killed off of a rat without harm. This maybe one of the new developments that will help counter diseases in the future, like someday people may take cold plasma showers to get rid of influenza or something.
