That's funny. For years they have been saying that silver does not kill bacteria and viruses, so if that were true why would they mutate? I have my doubts about this because tests on the few bacteria that have been found to be silver tolerant (found around silver mines), have found that they lose their tolerance very quickly when the silver is removed from their environment. Apparently the mechanism of silver tolerance is very energy intensive, and if they don't need it lose out to those that do not have the tolerance after a few generations. So even if they did form tolerance, it most likely would not last once the silver is removed, they revert back to non tolerant variety.
