Endocarditis is a bacterial infection that has a high mortality rate because the molecules of antibiotics are too large to penetrate the biofilm of the bacteria. Low temperature plasma (LTP), currently used to sterilize medical equipment, will be created by running 30,000V through two electrodes over a 20 nanosecond time span in either water, saline, fetal bovine serum, and eventually human blood.
