The Silver Institute’s June Silver News

Stay up-to-date on the latest advances in the silver industry with The Silver Institute’s bi-monthly Silver News. The latest issue, released this week, includes some fascinating articles on the new uses of the anti-bacterial properties of silver.

Low doses of silver can enhance the germ-fighting abilities of antibiotic drugs, even those drugs that have become less effective after decades of overprescribing has caused some microbes to become resistant, according to a team of researchers led by Jim Collins of the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University. 

They showed that not only does the addition of silver make some antibiotic drugs up to 1,000 times more effective, but silver has also made at least one drug-resistant bacterium surrender to antibiotics once again.”
