Abstract
The present invention generally relates to systems and methods of treating microbial growth on a conducting surface, for example, the conducting surface of an implanted medical device. One embodiment of the method includes applying a electrical current through the conducting surface and a counter electrode. The electrical current is varied such that an electrical potential of the conducting surface alternates compared to the electrical potential of a reference electrode and where the electrical current is varied to an extent sufficient to reduce or prevent microbial growth on the conducting surface.
