ABSTRACT The properties of the bactericidal action of silver zeolite as affected by inorganic salts and ion chelators were similar to those of silver nitrate. The results suggest that the contact of the bacterial cell with silver zeolite, the consequent transfer of silver ion to the cell, and the generation of reactive oxygen species in the cell are involved in the bactericidal activity of silver zeolite.

Bactericidal effects of different silver-containing materials

Mechanism of Bactericidal Activity of Silver Nitrate – a Concentration Dependent Bi-Functional Molecule

Silver nitrate imparts different functions on bacteria depending upon its concentration. At lower concentration it induced synthesis of nanoparticles, whereas at higher concentrations it induced cell…

The antibacterial activity of biogenic silver and its mode of action

In conclusion, biogenic nanosilver exhibited equal antimicrobial activity compared to ionic silver and can be a valuable alternative for chemically produced nanossilver.

Effect of Silver-Loaded Zeolite on the Susceptibility of Escherichia Coli Against Antibiotics

The result suggests that application of Ag-Z to ward environment might give a good outcome at the treatment with rifampicin and at thetreatment for pathogenic microbe spread through the air, such as tubercle bacilli.

Bactericidal effects of adsorbent on Escherichia coli for use in disinfection of drinking water

A synergistic action of silver (Ag) and groundnut husk carbon was shown, which markedly enhanced inactivation of Escherichia coli, indicating that AdSG was effective as a bactericidal agent and may prove to be economically beneficial in drinking water disinfection.

Review of modified zeolites by surfactant and silver as antibacterial agents

The emergence of the bacterial resistance towards current used antibiotics and antibacterial agents trigger scientists and researchers to develop new or improved antibacterial agents. Zeolite can be…

Release Pattern of Ag+ ions from Silver-Loaded Zeolite X and its Subsequent Effect on Fatty Acid Composition of Bacterial Cells

Interaction of silver ions with fatty acid of bacterial cells is likely to affect the survival of the cell.

Antibacterial activity of silver-modified natural clinoptilolite

The aim of the present work was to estimate the bactericidal activity and efficacy of silver pre-treated clinoptilolite-rich tuff from Marsid (Romania) in solid media (agar plates) against…

Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles from marine alga Colpomenia sinuosa and its antibacterial efficacy

In the current study green synthesis of silver nano particles from marine alga Colpomenia sinuosa were characterized and their efficacy was studied against bacterial pathogens.

Mechanism of Silver Sulfadiazine Action on Burn Wound Infections

The efficacy of silver sulfadiazine is thought to result from its slow and steady reactions with serum and other sodium chloride-containing body fluids, which permits the slow and sustained delivery of silver ions into the wound environs.

A mechanistic study of the antibacterial effect of silver ions on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

The existence of elements of silver and sulfur in the electron-dense granules and cytoplasm detected by X-ray microanalysis suggested the antibacterial mechanism of silver: DNA lost its replication ability and the protein became inactivated after Ag(+) treatment.

Effects of Halides on Plasmid-Mediated Silver Resistance in Escherichia coli

Silver resistance of sensitive Escherichia coli J53 and resistance plasmid-containing J53(pMG101) was affected by halides in the growth medium, and high concentrations of halides increased the sensitivities of both strains to Ag+.
