Background: Common disinfection methods like biocides, ultraviolet light and heat treatment are not efficient enough to succeed in bacterial inactivation for some microorganisms have become resistant to them. The aim of this study was to obtain information about the effect of pulsed ultrasound sonication with 30 kHz frequency and 100 W power on the inactivation capability of two bacteria groups, namely Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, in physiological water samples.
