Wow Steve -- that answers a question for me that I've wondered about for a long, long time. I'm saving this to my permanent CS file. Thanks. MA
________________________________ From: "Norton, Steve" [email protected] Occasionally, the question of the compatibility of CSwithantibiotics comes up. Here is a study that showsthatCS increasesthebactericidal efficiency of amoxicillin Synergistic antibacterialeffects of β-lactam antibiotic combined with silvernanoparticles http://www.iop.org/EJ/abstract/0957-4484/16/9/082 “When amoxicillin and silver nanoparticles are combined, it results in greater bactericidal efficiency onEscherichia colicells than when they were applied separately. Dynamic tests on bacterial growth indicated that exponential and stationary phases are greatly decreased and delayed in the synergistic effect of amoxicillin and silver nanoparticles. In addition, the effect induced by a preincubation with silver nanoparticles is examined. The results show that solutions with more silver nanoparticles have better antimicrobial effects.” - Steve N
