Makes sense, except that silver will kill both types...so location and media matters.
..doesn't do well on an Agar plate, but does in a broth.
The difference?  Mobility.
If it can't move, it can only kill what it contacts and if the concentration isn't high, it won't contact much. If the replication rate of the organism is higher than the kill rate, you may get some degree of control, but not get rid of it.

So what might be the "mechanics" of the plumbing ?
Perhaps the bowel has a slithery layer with a thickness to it to keep the semi solids moving and to keep poop as poop contained within itself, so contact would only be on the outside of that layer, while flora permeate it. [??]

Only the outside surface of a bullet touches the barrel, but the bullet is all lead.
 Coat that barrel with Teflon....

certain BACTERIA ARE ESSENTIAL TO HEALTHY BODY FUNCTION. SEVERAL RESEARCHERS CLAIM COLLOIDAL SILVER ONLY ATTACKS THE UNFRIENDLY PATHOGENS AND WILL LOT HARM THE FRIENDLY, BUT ONE MUST WONDER HOW IT CAN POSSIBLY DIFFERENTIATE. THE EXPLANATION IS THAT THE FRIENDLY BACTERIA ARE AEROBIC, WHILE UNFRIENDLY BACTERIA ARE ANAEROBIC. SILVER DOES NOT ATTACK BACTERIA DIRECTLY, BUT RATHER DECOMPOSES CERTAIN ENZYMES THE ANAEROBIC BACTERIA, VIRUSES, YEAST, AND MOLDS REQUIRE. THE SILVER ACTS AS A CATALYST AND IS LOT CONSUMED IN THE PROCESS. IT IS PROBABLE THAT THIS INDIRECT ACTION IS ALSO THE REASON BACTERIA CANNOT DEVELOP A RESISTANCE TO SILVER, AS THEY DO TO ANTIBIOTICS. FROM DR. CLARKS ARTICLE NEWSLETTER FOR PRACTITIONERS,{ FINDING THE WAY}. Makes sense
