It does not say the silver become resistant. There are many bacteria
that thrive in extreme conditions, and a silver rich environment can
qualify as that. It is a specific species found in a mineral deposit in
nature, not one in a living body.

I suppose if we knew *how* silver kills bacteria, then we could find
out how they can become resistant. I had always thought that bacteria
couldn't become resistant because silver doesn't work in the same way
as ABX's. Dee

Subject: Re: CS>Silver resistant bacteria
I agree it is quite interesting, Michael.
The only silver resistant bacteria we've heard about before were found
in mineral deposits where silver was in high concentration in the
growth medium. Resistance was quickly lost by future generations of the
"bugs" when removed from the silver rich environment. At least a few
common types of bacteria were found to behave this way if I remember
the stories right.
