TI – [Antimicrobial activity of ozonized water in determined
experimental conditions]
AB – Ozone is a potent disinfecting agent which has been used
successfully in water treatment, as well as to cure wounds. It
can also be used in dental clinics, in laboratories, and in
hospitals to clean and disinfect work surfaces and instruments.
In this paper we have carried out a study of the antimicrobial
activity of ozonized water. Antimicrobial activity in ozonized
water on bacterial suspensions and contaminated materials was
meaningful and depended fundamentally on concentration and time
of exposure. On buccal flora, one rinse alone had no effect, but
various successive rinses led to substantial reductions in the
number of colonies of bacteria. Ozone had a similar effect,
although more pronounced, on the flora of the hands. Ozonized
water placed in an open dish kept up antimicrobial activity for
the first 20 minutes, but after 30 minutes this activity
decreased substantially.
