There are several theories, and they may all, or none be correct. One is that silver particles are a catlyst (which is true) that causes oxidation of the pathogens. Another is that it interferes with an enzyme.
Also it has been determined specifically that oxygen reacts with anaerobic bacteria and viruses with the sulfhydryl (-S-H) groups surrounding the surface. It removes the hydrogen (converting it to water) so that the sulfur atoms form an -R-S-S-R bond. This interferes with the organisms transport or membrane proteins and deactivates them.(5) See http://silver-lightning.com/research2.html for more information on these theories.
