Identifying optimal dosing of antibiotics has proven challenging-some antibiotics are most effective when they are administered periodically at high doses, while others work best when minimizing concentration fluctuations. Mechanistic explanations for why antibiotics differ in their optimal dosing are lacking, limiting our ability to predict optimal therapy and leading to long and costly experi...

background and objectives: survey on bacterial contamination is one of the most important ways for hygienic evaluation of meats at different points of processing and marketing. in the last decade application of ozone as an antiseptic agent was proposed in foods (meats, vegetables, fruits, etc.) processing. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of ozone gas for reduction of bacterial...

conclusions anova results showed that the effect of cycle and time on the selected bacterial removal efficiency were more important than that of the microbial concentration. results the results showed that e. coli and e. faecalis were effectively treated at 10 pulse/s in 9 minutes and 6 log cfu/ml bacterial suspension (p < 0.0001 for e. coli with 99.99% (4 log) and p = 0.0002 for e. faecalis wi...
