[Lethal processes in Escherichia coli due to dehydration in air with varying humidity].
The death of aerosolized bacteria has been shown to occur as the result of irreversible conformation changes in their macromolecules. This process depends on the role of cell dehydration and the amount of hydration water remaining in the cells.
