Following on from the use of powerful oxidising agents being (relatively) indescriminate in their disruption of cells to reneder them non-viable. My feeling is that "clean" oxidants eg ozone, which don't leave halogenated organics behind, may have an increasing role to play in both disinfection and the avoidance of Anti Microbial Resistance (AMR).

"Resistance" is futile for oxidizers: one cannot develop a resistance to bullets and bombs. Ozone is indeed a great oxidant, like all oxidizers it has pro's and con's. it's primary con's include bromate formation, elevated corrosion rates, and insolubility above 94 DegF.
