Evaluation of Short-Term Exposure to 2.4 GHz Radiofrequency Radiation Emitted from Wi-Fi Routers on the Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus

" The aim of the present study was to examine the short-term exposure effect to radiation emitted from a Wi-Fi router on the sensitivity of pathogenic microorganisms to various antibiotics. The results of this study showed that there are significant changes in the resistance of S. aureus and P. aeruginosa to different antibiotics due to exposure to 2.4 GHz radiation after 24 hours. P. aeruginosa was resistant to all antibiotics after 24 hours of exposure to radiofrequency waves. Moreover, S. aureus was resistant to some antibiotics, such as ampicillin, amikacin, ceftriaxone, vancomycin, and piperacillin." {Credits 1}
