Radiolysis of sulfonamide antibiotics in aqueous solution: Degradation efficiency and assessment of antibacterial activity, toxicity and biodegradability of products.

TL;DR: The ionizing radiation induced degradation of four sulfonamide antibiotics was investigated in dilute aqueous solutions, with emphasis on the biological assessment of decomposition products, and it was demonstrated that antibacterial activity is due to the initial molecules, as it disappeared when the sulfonamides concentration decreased below the minimal inhibitory concentration.
