Far-ultraviolet C light, with a wavelength of 200-230 nm, has demonstrated broad-spectrum germicidal efficacy. However, due to increased interest in its use as an alternative antimicrobial, further knowledge about fundamental bactericidal efficacy is required. This study had two objectives. Firstly, it investigated experimentally the Far-UVC dose-response common bacteria suspended at various cell densities transparent buffer, ensuring no influence from photosensitive suspending media. Increasing doses were delivered
