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