and Exposed to Wi-Fi Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Radiation Show Enhanced Growth and Lactic Acid Production.

This in vitro experimental study exposed two Lactobacillus probiotic cultures to 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi RF-EMF from a router for 15–60 minutes and compared them with sham-exposed controls. The authors report increased bacterial growth after 30–60 minutes of exposure, with no growth difference at 15 minutes. Lactic acid…

Inactivation of Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Lactobacillus brevis in Low-fat Milk by Pulsed Electric Field Treatment: A Pilot-scale Study.

This pilot-scale study evaluated pulsed electric field (PEF) processing of low-fat milk inoculated with E. coli, S. cerevisiae, or L. brevis. At 10 kV/cm and 200 kJ/L total pulse energy, the study reports multi-log microbial reductions, with >5-log reductions during storage at 200–250 kJ/L and slow regrowth over 15…

Intestinal MMC-related electric fields and pancreatic juice control the adhesion of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria to the gut epithelium--in vitro study.

This in vitro study tested whether a weak electric field reconstructed from duodenal spiking potentials during an MMC cycle affects bacterial adhesion to Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cells. The MMC-related electric field increased adhesion of Lactobacillus and Lactococcus strains, while two pathogenic strains…
