Abstract:
In the present study oxygen in the form of ozonated water has been used to tests its antimicrobial activity against the pathogens isolated from bovine mastitis. Ozone is a well-known oxidant that can be commercially manufactured using basic ozonizer equipment. Ozone dissolves quickly in water and keeps its antibacterial properties even when dissolved as reported by several researchers. In this study, the effect of 0.1 ppm,0.3 ppm, 0.4 ppm and 0.6 ppm ozonated water charging after of time 20 minutes was analyzed on different microbial isolates isolated from mastitis. The antimicrobial effect of ozonated water was evaluated using the disc diffusion method following routine procedure. The 0.6 ppm ozonated water was found to be highly sensitive against S. aureus. As its action was studied with single charging, multiple charging or using ozonated water in 20 minutes interval may reduce the microbial load as an ideal antiseptic. Ozonated water at different concentration was effective in reducing the bacterial load, but it did not eliminate them completely. It may be advocated as a surfactant before milking like microbial antiseptics.
Highlights
- A concentration of 0.6 ppm ozonated water was found to be highly sensitive against S. aureus.
- Ozonated water at different concentrations was effective in reducing the bacterial load.
