Ozone inactivation kinetics of multiple antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria in water

GutiГ©rrez M.S., Lezcano I., Baluja Ch. and SГЎnchez E. Ozone Research Center, Cuba. ABSTRACT To determine the ozone inactivation kinetic of different Gram positive and Gram negative multiple antibiotics resistant bacterial strains from clinical isolation (CI), that resists too high concentration of chlorine, and compare them with reference strains was our objective. Microorganism’s concentration was…

Changes in glutathione antioxidant pathway components, hla-dr and ige in blood from asthma patients treated with ozone therapy.

HernГЎndez F., Alvarez I., Corcho I. and GonzГЎlez M. Ozone Research Center, Cuba. ABSTRACT We have studied the behavior of the erythrocyte glutathione antioxidant pathway, the HLA-DR molecule expression and the serum IgE level in patients suffering reactive asthma, whose were treated with ozone major autohemotherapy or rectal insufflation. A subgroup of patients having high…
