Abstract

An examination of the effects of low intensity direct current generated silver, (LIDC Ag) on several types of eukaryotic microorganisms and cell culture lines suggests that LIDC Ag has as appropriate selective toxicity for prokaryotic cells. It appears that levels of this agent could be obtained clinically that would have marked bacteriostatic activity and yet have little or no effect on mammalian cells.
