MULTI-TARGET MECHANISM

How silver ions may interact with microorganisms

This six-stage narrative brings together the principal molecular targets associated with Ag⁺ ions.

1/6 · Ion releaseBiologically active Ag⁺ may be released from a surface in a moist microenvironment.

In a moist environment, Ag⁺ ions may be released from a surface and interact with the cell envelope, thiol-containing proteins, electron transport and genetic material. Contributions vary by silver form, dose, microorganism and microenvironment.
