ozone's antimicrobial action appears unaffected by antibiotic-resistance mechanisms in bacteria
Ozone resistance in multiple antibiotic-resistant E. coli strains was not associated with plasmid content, suggesting ozone's mechanism of action bypasses plasmid-mediated resistance pathways.
What this means for you
Many common bacteria have evolved ways to resist antibiotics — but this finding suggests ozone works through a completely different pathway that those resistance tricks don't block. For wellness-minded people, that points to ozone's potential as a meaningful support for microbial balance, even in environments where conventional approaches fall short.
