OBJECTIVES To investigate whether silver chelates or silver ions are more effective as therapeutic agents, and to examine their mode of action so that safer and stable compounds that have a broad spectrum of therapeutic activities can be developed. METHODS Efficacy was investigated against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 15442) by determining MIC via a broth macrodilution procedure using NCCLS m...

Prosthetic joint replacements are used increasingly to alleviate pain and improve mobility of the progressively older and more obese population. Implant infection occurs in about 5% of patients and entails significant morbidity and high social costs. It is most often caused by staphylococci, which are introduced perioperatively. They are a source of prolonged seeding and difficult to treat due ...

background: zeolites containing silver ion, in combination with synthetic fibers, show antibacterial activity. objectives: the purpose of this study was to use silver zeolite indirectly as antimicrobial agents to control streptococcus iniae infection which recently has caused disease in some of rainbow trout farms in iran. methodes: in this context polyurethane foams containing silver zeolite (...

M\1any methods have been suggested for the preparation of colloidal metals by condensation with the use of organic compounds as stabilizers (1). Among these compounds may be mentioned gum arabic, gelatin, sugar, glycerol, sodium citrate, saponin, barium arabinate, sodium protalbinate, and sodium lysalbinate. Probably colloidal silver has received as much attention as has colloidal gold. Wool-fa...

Carboxylates constitute an extremely promising class of precursor compounds for the electron beam induced deposition of silver. In this work both silver 2,2-dimethylbutyrate and silver pentafluoropropionate were investigated with respect to their dwell-time-dependent deposition behavior and growth characteristics. While silver 2,2-dimethylbutyrate showed a strong depletion in the center of the ...
