Summary:An ingestible capsule, a medical probe and method provide for in-vivo treatment of bacterial cells in the human body. A capsule body or a medical probe has at least two electrodes, a power supply, and a controller. The controller controls the delivery of non-ionizing nanosecond pulsed electric fields (nsPEF) to targeted bacteria within the human body for an exposure time and at an exposure location, initiating death in the bacterial cells.
