A method for disinfecting water and other dense fluid media containing microorganisms is carried out in a dense media plasma reactor. The plasma reaction in the reactor produces reactive species, such as electrons, ions, and free radicals that promote the inactivation of the microorganisms. In various embodiments, the plasma reaction also sputters off minute antimicrobial particles of the electrically conducting material from which the electrodes are made.

The isolation and characterization of a novel staphylococcal enterotoxin designated SEH is described. A process for high-yield generation of substantially pure SEH and antibodies specific thereto is described, as is construction of an immunoassay for detection and quantification of SEH within a sample.
