Agar targets seeded with Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus in roll tubes simulating the vaginal vault were irradiated with a CO2 laser at various power densities and durations. Viable bacteria were detected in the plume emissions in all instances. Staphylococcus aureus was found to be more resistant to the thermal effects of lasing than E. coli. This suggests that CO2 irradiation of cervical lesions could disseminate viable particles which may be a hazard for patients and operators.
在模拟阴道穹窿的滚管中接种大肠杆菌和金黄色葡萄球菌的琼脂靶标，用二氧化碳激光以不同的功率密度和持续时间进行照射。在所有情况下，羽流排放物中均检测到活细菌。发现金黄色葡萄球菌比大肠杆菌对激光的热效应更具抗性。这表明对宫颈病变进行二氧化碳照射可能会传播活的颗粒，这对患者和操作人员可能是一种危害。
