Antibiotic sensitivity testing, dielectric relaxation, and biofilm development for the living microbe were used to evaluate morphological and molecular alterations. Results showed that combination of nanoparticles with ELF-EF at 0.8 Hz enhanced the bacterial inhibition efficiency, which may be due to structural changes. These were supported by the dielectric measurement results which indicated the differences in the dielectric increment and electrical conductivity for the treated samples compared with control samples. This was also confirmed by biofilm formation measurements obtained.
