This may include the ability to manufacture useable energy (called suffocation). The silver may cause other problems for the bacterium such as a breach in the cell wall, by modifying the integrity of the bonds which hold it together. It matters little to the silver ion whether the bacterium is aerobic or non-aerobic, as both have negative and positive charged regions upon their surfaces. The process is a normal oxidative reaction (transfer and sharing of electrons). Silver may also have a catalytic action in the right circumstances, but this is by no means the only or perhaps even the major path by which silver disables bacterium. If silver can contact the tetanus causing bacterium then it will probably disable it. Ivan. -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
