Dose fractionation as a promising strategy to improve UV disinfection

Survival curves for bacteria exposed to germicidal radiation (254 nm) usually exhibit a decreased slope at high doses, because bacterial populations contain a small proportion of cells able to tolerate the effects of the radiation. These cells could survive due to external shielding by aggregation o...
