Why Silver Kills Germs and Heals Wounds

By Samuel Etris, Senior Technical Consultant to The Silver Institute
People have known for centuries that silver kills germs, but only recently have scientists discovered how the white metal does its work.

One question that has eluded scientists is why silver is harmful to bacteria but doesn’t hurt humans. Albert T. McManus former Chief of Microbiology, USA Institute of Surgical Research at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, says that silver interrupts a bacteria cell’s ability to form chemical bonds essential to its survival. These bonds are integral to the cell’s physical structure, so bacteria in the presence of silver essentially falls apart. Cells in humans and other animals have thick walls and are not disturbed by silver.
