“…Silver ions and silver salts have been known for their growthinhibitory property against microorganisms and have been used for the same in past. Also, activity of other metal ions like Cu, 11,12 Zn 13,14 and Mg 15 against microorganisms have been reported by various research groups. However the usefulness of Ag ions or salts as such as an antimicrobial agent has got some limitations due to various reasons, including the restraining effects of salts.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
