Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to answer the question whether the exposure of bacterial cells to ozone results in changes of their sensitivity to the bactericidal action of normal bovine serum (NBS). Our initial studies have demonstrated that contact of bacteria with O3 enhances serum-mediated killing.
