Читать книгу The Fundamentals of Bacteriology - Charles Bradfield Morrey - Страница 27

Röntgen or x-rays and radium emanations when properly applied to bacteria will destroy them. The practical use of these agents for the direct destruction of bacteria in diseases of man or animals is restricted to those cases where they may be applied directly to the diseased area, since they are just as injurious to the animal cell as they are to the bacteria, and even more so. Their skilful use as stimuli to the body cells to enable them to resist and overcome bacteria and other injurious organisms or cell growths is an entirely different function and will not be considered here.
