From: In vitro bacteriological effect of tri-beveled needle electrolysis against Staphylococcus aureus

Relevance of the dose of the galvanic currents on the bactericidal effect on S. aureus. Data were expressed as mean with CI of the number of viable log10 CFU/ml. NE parameters were expressed as “intensity (mA)/ time (seconds)”. Two different intensities (3 and 5 mA) and times (5 and 10 s) were selected, always applying five consecutive impacts to the bacterial suspensions on a 14 G tri-beveled needle (2.2 mm × 50 mm). Doses were expressed in Coulombs (C). (*: statistical significance p < 0.05 in relation to the control group; **: statistical significance p < 0.001 in relation to control group).
