| Résumé : |
Silver is playing a major role in the combatting of bacteria in coatings.
Silver has been used in fighting infection for centuries. The ancient Greeks stored water in silver vessels and there is documentary evidence of the use of silver for medicinal purposes dating back to 750 AD.
In the 1880s silver was used for the prevention of eye infections in new born babies and in the 1900s doctors applied a thin layer of silver to large wounds to prevent infection and promote healing. It also found use as an internal antiseptic.
With the invention of penicillin in the early 1920s and the development of other classes of antibiotics, the use of silver as an antimicrobial agent declined. The growing incidence of multi-drug resistant bacteria however renewed the interest in silver.
When released into aqueous fluids, silver provides an antimicrobial action. The positively charged ionic form is highly toxic for micro organisms at minute concentrations. |
