We discovered that some of them suffered damage to their walls or membranes as a result of the electric field lines flowing through them. Depending on the variation in intensity, bacteria are affected by the field, whether it is positive at most or negative to a small extent, as this laboratory experiment demonstrated. Despite the strength of their walls, we discovered that pathogenic bacteria are affected by an electric current of 60 amps, which caused a modest change in their growth or, more precisely, made them growth-inhibiting in contrast to their pure state. Highlights: Electric fields damage bacterial walls/membranes based on intensity variation. Pathogenic bacteria affected by 60-amp current, inhibiting growth. Growth differs from pure state due to electric exposure. Keywords: electric field, bacterial growth, nutrient agar, Staphylococcus aureus
