Faculty of Science researchers identify genes, biological pathways involved in microbes’ toxicity and resistance to the metal

Silver’s popularity as a bacteria killer has led to companies embedding tiny, nano-sized silver particles in running shirts, underwear, socks, shoe insoles, food cutting boards, toothbrushes and an expanding array of other "antibacterial" consumer goods. But there is concern that these growing non-medical applications could lead to some bacterial strains becoming resistant to silver and other antimicrobial metals, says Natalie Gugala, a PhD student in Ray Turner’s lab at the University of Ģ��ý.
