Yes, it is an oxidizing catalyst and oxidizes the germ killing it.
Essentially the same mechanism as ozone or H2O2 therapy, but is not used
up like they are.

Everything I've read that gives a mechanism of action of silver
killing germs has to do with an ion...oxidizing a cell
wall...electromagnetically scrambling DNA...etc. Is there are known
mechanism of action by which metallic silver particles kills germs?

Sure metal particles can do something. Silver particles are an excellent
catalyst, and also kill germs on contact. That is why some water filters
have silver metal in them. What particles do NOT do is cause injured cells
to revert to stem cells for healing, that is only done by ions.
Sputtering, which is how I believe mesosilver is made, produces clumps of
silver particles and some silver atoms/ions The atoms can easily be an ion,
since they will be in the middle of a plasma, and once they enter the water,
can associate with the OH in the water forming ionic silver.

It seems to me that mesosilver particles are metallic silver. Can
metallic silver actually yield any silver ions? I can understand how
silver hydroxide/oxide/chloride/citrate/etc can have different
tendencies to disassociate in the body, and yield a free silver ion
for a time, but how can metallic particles possibly do anything?
Could it be that mesosilver's effect is only due to the 20% ions?
That would be a ripoff on top of a ripoff. And how do those ions get
into the product anyway when there is no electrolysis involved? Or
are mesosilver particles somehow coated in a silver compound like
silver oxide that can have some tendency to release ions?
Working on a CS book, and just want to really give a completely fair
view of the in vivo story.
