Silver and most silver compounds have an
oligodynamic effect and are toxic for bacteria, algae, and fungi
in vitro. The antibacterial action of silver is dependent on the silver ion.
[7] The effectiveness of silver compounds as an antiseptic is based on the ability of the biologically active silver ion (Ag
+
) to irreversibly damage key enzyme systems in the cell membranes of pathogens.

Silver, used as a topical antiseptic, is incorporated by bacteria it kills. Thus dead bacteria may be the source of silver which may kill additional bacteria.
