AB - The study analyzes the bactericidal influence of an ozonized
blood serum on gram-negative bacilli. Considerable differences
were observed concerning the effect which ozonized normal human
serum has upon Klebsiella, Pseudomonas and Salmonella strains. It
was found that the impact may vary depending not only on the time
of the exposure of serum to ozone, but also on the type of strain
and the structure of the outer membrane of the bacteria. The
Salmonella typhimurium strain of the Ra chemotype treated with
the serum which was exposed to ozone showed higher susceptibility
to the action of complement than the S. typhimurium strain of the
S chemotype.
