The antibacterial
property of silver has been known for thousands of years with the
Ancient Greeks cook from silver pots and the old age “born with a silver
spoon in his mouth” referring to more than just wealth. Eating with a
silver spoon was known to be more hygienic.
Silver nanoparticles
easily interact with other particles and increase their antibacterial
efficiency. Silver has been recognized as one of the most antibiotic
substances known in human history. While an antibiotic can kill perhaps
a half-dozen of different kinds of disease organisms, silver is known to
kill some 650 species of bacteria and viruses.
Major consumer goods
manufacturers already produce household items that utilize the
antibacterial properties of nano silver. These products include
refrigerators, air conditioners and washing machines. Nano silver is
also playing a major role as an enhancement to bandages, dressings and
other health care products and coatings.
