  • Title: The antibacterial and antifungal activity of a soda-lime glass containing silver nanoparticles.
    Author: Esteban-Tejeda L, Malpartida F, Esteban-Cubillo A, Pecharromán C, Moya JS.
    Journal: Nanotechnology; 2009 Feb 25; 20(8):085103. PubMed ID: 19417439.
    Abstract:
    The antibacterial and antifungal activity of a low melting point soda-lime glass powder containing silver nanoparticles has been studied. Nano-Ag sepiolite fibres containing monodispersed silver nanoparticles (d(50) approximately 11 +/- 9 nm) were used as the source of silver. This powder presents a high antibacterial (against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria) as well as antifungal (against I. orientalis) activity. The observed high activity against yeast has been explained by considering the inhibitory effect of the Ca(2+) lixiviated from the glass on the growth of the yeast colonies.
