Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria pose a growing threat to global health, prompting exploration of alternative therapies. This study uses bioinformatic modelling to assess ozone therapy as an adjunct treatment, analysing both linear and non-linear (chaotic) frameworks. Results suggest that ozone exerts bactericidal effects and modulates immune responses, partly through the production of 4-hydroxynonenal. Simulations indicate that ozone-induced adaptive chaos may enhance immune resilience and accelerate bacterial clearance compared to antibiotics alone. However, the findings are theoretical, and the short half-life of ozone limits direct impact, emphasizing the need for experimental validation. Ozone therapy shows promise, but its role in adaptive chaos requires further study to determine its clinical viability, despite a large number of reports showing an undisputable action of medical ozone against MDR bacteria.
多重耐药(MDR)细菌对全球健康构成日益严重的威胁,促使人们探索替代疗法。本研究使用生物信息学建模来评估臭氧疗法作为辅助治疗的效果,分析线性和非线性(混沌)框架。结果表明,臭氧具有杀菌作用并调节免疫反应,部分是通过产生4-羟基壬烯醛实现的。模拟表明,与单独使用抗生素相比,臭氧诱导的适应性混沌可能增强免疫弹性并加速细菌清除。然而,这些发现是理论性的,且臭氧的半衰期短限制了其直接影响,强调了实验验证的必要性。尽管大量报告显示医用臭氧对多重耐药细菌有毋庸置疑的作用,但臭氧疗法虽有前景,其在适应性混沌中的作用仍需进一步研究以确定其临床可行性。
