Ask him to try the sol in broth, not plated media.

I gave some Colloidal Silver solution to an old friend of mine that I
met at a reunion who happens to be a microbiologist. I happened to
have some CS with me and he was intrigued with it and said he was
willing to do some tests of it's effectivity. I have included his
response below. If anyone has some suggestions on how to test it
properly, please let me know. Also, any relevant reference as well.
He says:
"I tested the colloidal silver solution using the methodology that we
use in the lab to test standardized antibiotics. I created a lawn of
bacteria of known density on agar plates, and then placed a drop of
the silver solution in the center of the plate, which then diffused
through the bacteria and into the agar medium. None of the 9 most
commonly encountered organisms showed any zone of inhibition. The
organisms I used in this experiment were E. coli, E. coli (ESBL),
Staph. aureus and MRSA, Enterococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
Moraxella cattarrhalis, Group A beta Strep, and Streptococcus
pneumoniae.
"I have to google the subject as I am surprised that there was no
inhibitory effect what so ever at the dosage level direct from the
bottle you provided. I am wondering whether in vivo there is another
mechanism utilized that is not demonstrated by my plate technique.
I'm interested in knowing more, so if you have some references please
pass them on."
Thanks,
Dan
