Different plasma treatment times were tested [min]. A CFU assay was performed immediately after the plasma treatment. Black dotted line: baseline of viable bacteria per ml; red dotted line: reduction of three log<sub>10</sub> steps of viable bacteria (99.9%); green dotted line: reduction of five log<sub>10</sub> steps of viable bacteria (99.999%).
