New Evidence for Ag-Sputtered Materials Inactivating Bacteria by Surface Contact without the Release of Ag Ions: End of a Long Controversy?

The study provides new evidence for Ag-coated polyester (PES) mediating inactivation by way of genetically engineered (without porins, from now denoted porinless bacteria). This allows the quantification of the bactericidal kinetics induced by the Ag surface without the intervention of Ag ions. Bact...
