Bacterial loads can be effectively reduced using cavitation-mediated focused ultrasound, or histotripsy. In this study, gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli) in suspension were used as model bacteria to evaluate the effectiveness of two regimens of histotripsy treatments: cavitation histotripsy (CH) and boiling histotripsy (BH). |
