It has been stated in literature that silver can destroy bacterial cells and 
not human cells because human cell walls are much more robust than bacterial 
cell walls. Bacteria do not need robust cell walls since they live in a very 
benign environment. It may be that in infants and small children there are a 
large number of developing cells, that at some point in the cell development 
the cells are vulnerable to silver.

Well, actually silver particles of up to ~ 100+ atoms form, and lose an
electron or so, perhaps many, thus exhibiting ionic 'potential'. silver
atoms, like many, like to pair up thus forming molecules with an ionic
potential that are larger than a single silver atom that has lost one
of its electrons.
