Summary:
Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that selected strains of Candida spp. were sensitive to ozonated water at all tested concentrations (5 _g/mL, 30 _g/mL, and 50 _g/mL). The sensitivity of strains to ozonated water increased with concentration and application time. Moreover, the sensitivity of Candida strains to ozonated water is comparable to that of 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate.
