The Survival of Bacteria in High-Frequency Electric Fields

S. E. Jacobs, Margaret J. Thornley, P. Maurice · 1950

Researchers exposed various bacteria, principally Bacterium coli and Staphylococcus aureus, to high-frequency electric fields at 1-65 Mc/s with external electrodes while preventing lethal temperature rise. They used a low-powered variable-frequency generator (1-710 Mc/s) and a high-powered 44 Mc/s diathermy unit. Bacterial survival was judged by viable plate counts using duplicate samples. No significant mortality occurred in any experiment, even at high voltage gradients. The results consistently failed to confirm Fleming's 1944 report of high mortality.
