title: [Influence of an alternating magnetic field on the bactericidal effect of ionizing radiation].
abstract: A study was made of the effect of alternating magnetic field (AMF) and ionizing radiation delivered separately or in a combination on the microorganisms differing in radio-resistance. AMF (240 and 750 E) had no pronounced bactericidal action. A synergistic increase in the sterilizing effect of ionizing radiation was demonstrated after incubation of irradiated bacteria in AMF. The radiation-magnetic technique is proposed for sterilization of preparations and articles made of non-thermoresistant materials which permits to decrease by 1.5 times the bactericidal dose of ionizing radiation.
