Inhibitory and cidal antimicrobial actions of electrically generated silver ions

Inhibitory and cidal antimicrobial actions of electrically generated silver ions

R E Hall et al. J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 1987 Sep.

Abstract

One promising alternative to antibiotics in the treatment of localized infections is the generation of antimicrobial silver ions by the use of low intensity direct current from a pure silver anode implanted at the site of an infection. This study investigates the in vitro bacteriostatic and bactericidal properties of this system on a variety of organisms.
