Bacterial and fungal spore contamination in different industries has a greater economic impact. Because of theremarkable resistance of spores to most physical and chemical microbicidal agents, their inactivation need special attention during sterilization processes. Heat and chemical sporicides are not always well suited for different sterilization/decontamination applications and carries inherent risks. In recent years, novel nonthermal agents including nonthermal plasmas are emerging as effective sporicides against a broad spectrum of bacterial and fungal spores. The present review discusses various aspects related to theinactivation of spores using nonthermal plasmas. Different types of both low pressure plasmas (e.g., capacitively coupled plasma and microwave plasma) and atmospheric pressure plasmas (e.g., dielectric barrier discharges, corona discharges, arc discharges, radio-frequency-driven plasma jet) have been successfully applied to destroy spores of economic significance. Plasma agents contributing to sporicidal activity and their mode of action in inactivation are discussed. In addition, information on factors that affect the sporicidal action of nonthermal plasmas is included.
