A new method is described which makes it possible to treat metal materials with microwaves. In consequence scalpel blades as well as cover glasses contaminated with four species of bacteria (Salmonella typhi, Proteus mirabilis, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) were sterilized. With this method sterilization can be achieved quite rapidly (1.5-2 min). Scanning electron microscopy revealed a progressive alteration in the morphology of micro-organisms and this proved proportional to the microwave exposure time. Only in Proteus mirabilis were no modifications found, even after long periods of microwave exposure.
本文描述了一种新方法，该方法能够使用微波处理金属材料。结果，被四种细菌（伤寒沙门氏菌、奇异变形杆菌、大肠杆菌和铜绿假单胞菌）污染的手术刀刀片以及盖玻片都被消毒了。用这种方法可以相当迅速地实现消毒（1.5 - 2分钟）。扫描电子显微镜显示微生物形态有渐进性改变，且这被证明与微波暴露时间成正比。即使在长时间微波暴露后，奇异变形杆菌中也未发现任何变化。
