**we have attached the silver nanoparticles to the surface of a bacterium**
..which kills them, but they are **grown** in ionic silver so they will
excrete silver..then the dead bacterium cells which can excrete silver
somehow, don't go anywhere, but inhibit a virus.
Weird !
How do you grow dead bacterium?
Why not just use the ionic silver?

He was quoted by 'The Daily Telegraph' as saying, We are using silver
nanoparticles, which are extremely small but give a large amount of surface
area as they can clump around the virus, increasing the inhibiting effect.
There are concerns about using such small particles of silver in the human
body and what harm it might cause to human health, so **we have attached
the silver nanoparticles to the surface of a bacterium**. It means the
silver particles remain small, but they are not free to roam around the body.
The bacteria used, Lactobacillus fermentum, is normally considered to be a
friendly bacteria that is often found in yogurts and probiotic drinks
that can help to aid digestion.
The scientists found that when grown in a solution of silver ions, the
bacteria excrete tiny particles of silver, 10,000 times smaller than the
width of a human hair, which stud the outside of the cells.
Although the bacteria eventually die as a result of the silver, they remain
intact and the dead cells carrying the silver particles can then be added
to solutions to create nasal sprays or handwashes
