The authors investigated the growth of 8 species of pathogenic aerobic bacteria after treatment with hyperbaric oxygen. Within 24 hours the cultures were exposed three times for 2 hours to an absolute pressure of 3 atmospheres of oxygen at 37 degrees C. In the fluid cultures as well as in the controls the inhibitory effect of oxygen was assessed in percent by means of the densitometric method. From these in vivo experiments the authors conclude that hyperbaric treatment of superficial pyogenic events accompanying obliterating vascular diseases is reasonable.
