silver has antimicrobial properties and can kill bacteria, fungi and few viruses. it effects bacteria in several ways:
bind to bacterial cell wall and stops transportation of substances in and out of cell
it can also stops bacterial replication by interacting bacterial DNA
it can readily absorb by biomolecules like proteins and enzymes and inactivate their function
