The Effects of Nanosilver on the Ionic Silver Resistant Plasmid (pMG101)
| Défi: | Santé | | Catégorie: | Junior | | Région: | Waterloo-Wellington | | Ville: | Conestogo, ON | | École: | Centennial P.S. | | Sommaire: | Ionic silver is an effective antibacterial agent. However, certain bacteria have developed a resistance to ionic silver. This project’s goal was to study whether nanosilver particles, another form of silver, can inhibit the growth of ionic silver resistant bacteria. The results contradicted the hypothesis. Additionally, a control showed that ionic silver at 1mM increases the growth of resistant bacteria, a result with important medical applications. |
