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).
