“Colloidal silver at 5 ppm concentration has proven to be effective on ten clinical bacterial isolates comprising
five isolates of Escherichia coli isolated from surgical wound patients at the Federal Medical Centre, Abakaliki
and five isolates of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from the wound sites of burnt patients at the University of
Nigeria Teaching Hospital. Also, interaction studies between colloidal silver and some conventional antibiotics
were carried out showing that the test organisms were sensitive to the colloidal silver at both alone and with
antibiotics and the silver showed no antagonism to the antibiotic drug.”
