the test used in the article someone posted was the same method as
this, and *they* reported that all organisms were killed. How come?

I gave some Colloidal Silver solution to an old friend of mine that I
met at a reunion who happens to be a microbiologist. I happened to
have some CS with me and he was intrigued with it and said he was
willing to do some tests of it's effectivity. I have included his
response below. If anyone has some suggestions on how to test it
properly, please let me know. Also, any relevant reference as well.
He says:
"I tested the colloidal silver solution using the methodology that we
use in the lab to test standardized antibiotics. I created a lawn of
bacteria of known density on agar plates, and then placed a drop of
the silver solution in the center of the plate, which then diffused
through the bacteria and into the agar medium. None of the 9 most
commonly encountered organisms showed any zone of inhibition. The
organisms I used in this experiment were E. coli, E. coli (ESBL),
Staph. aureus and MRSA, Enterococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
Moraxella cattarrhalis, Group A beta Strep, and Streptococcus
pneumoniae.
