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