Scientists have designed a device to inactivate a bacterium that causes infection An illustration of the potential new treatment for middle ear infections. July 14, 2021 Middle ear infections, also known as otitis media, affect more than 80% of the children in the U.S. In a new study, U.S. National Science Foundation-funded researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have designed a miniaturized 3D-printed device to inactivate Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a common bacterium that causes the infection. The device a microplasma jet array generates plasma, which is composed of charged particles and reactive molecules that have been previously shown to inactivate various pathogens. This is the first time anyone has tried treating middle ear infections using plasma technology, said Jungeun Won, a researcher at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Usually, the treatment involves using antibiotics or surgical intervention.
