Description
Summary:In contact experiments with different experimental conditions, electrochemical Ag super(+) solutions exhibited better antimicrobial effectiveness against bacteria, a yeast species, and a mold than did analogous silver solutions from inorganic salts. The particular characteristics of electrochemical Ag super(+), such as the mode of action, effectiveness at low concentrations, and stability, indicate that Ag super(+) could be used effectively in preservatives.
