ozone oxidizes bacterial cell walls, disrupting microbial membranes on contact
Oxidation due to ozone induces destruction of cell walls and cytoplasmic membranes of microorganisms, and differences in sensitivity to ozonated water are likely due to differences in cell wall structure.
What this means for you
When ozone meets bacteria, it breaks down the outer walls that protect them — a purely physical process that doesn't rely on antibiotics. This matters because some bacteria are harder to affect than others based on how their cell walls are built, which helps explain why ozone is studied as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial support.
