Silver and its application as an antimicrobial agent

Abstract: This review summarises patents published from 2001 to 2004 on the microcidal properties of silver-releasing materials for healthcare and medicine. The anti-inflammatory, re-epitheliasation and antihaemorrhagic properties of the silver-releasing materials are also disclosed. A biological evaluation of the antiviral properties of silver tetra-silver tetra-oxide is discussed, but no biological data have been reported to support the claim that silver (I) has antiviral properties, as disclosed by most of the patent… Show more

“…Silver in its ionised form, is the metal best known for its broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains, including antibiotic-resistant strains [6]. Biocides such as silver (I), which target numerous sites within the bacterial cell, are less likely to…”

“…In medical terms, silver is the antimicrobial metal best known for its broad-spectrum activity against intractable infectious microorganisms, including antibiotic resistant strains [8]. The multiple modes of action of silver include binding with cell DNA, inhibiting enzymes that mediate respiration and reacting with sensitive thiol groups on bacterial proteins -thereby destroying the normal biological activity of the protein [9]. The antimicrobial properties of nanosilver loaded filter paper against Escherichia coli have been recently studied [10].…”

“…Многие характеристики сплавов можно усовершенствовать путем легирования. Перспективным легирующим элементом с биомедицинской точки зрения является серебро, так как оно хорошо известно своим антибактериальным воздействием на клет-ки [2]. Существует ряд работ [2][3][4][5][6], в которых проведены исследования влияния добавок серебра на свойства сплавов TiNi.…”

Существует ряд работ [2][3][4][5][6], в которых проведены исследования влияния добавок серебра на свойства сплавов TiNi. В [2][3][4] рассматри-ваются антибактериальные свойства тройных сплавов TiNiAg, обуслов-ленные выходом ионов Ag + из фаз чистого серебра на поверхность TiNi.…”
