Studies on the influence of ozone on complement-mediated killing of bacteria

Year: 1994

Type: article

Abstract: The role of ozone in the susceptibility of clinical isolates of Acinetobacter anitratus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa to serum was investigated. It was found that ozone-treated cells were more susceptible to complement-mediated killing serum. These results suggest that ozone damage or change of cell membrane leads to a more rapid penetration of the membrane attack complex of complement.
