Researchers are using gene-editing platforms to take a closer look at precisely how and when silver poisons pathogenic microbes, according to an article on the Infection Control Today website.
Silver has been used to fight infections since ancient times. And today's research is offering more information on how to create effective antimicrobials.
Silver is used to control bacteria in many clinical settings and has been incorporated into hundreds of commercial products.
