Abstract
The antibacterial and antifungal activity of a low melting pointsoda-lime glass powder containing silver nanoparticles has been studied.Nano-Ag sepiolite fibres containing monodispersed silver nanoparticles(d50≈11 ± 9 nm) were used as the source of silver. This powder presents a high antibacterial (againstgram-positive and gram-negative bacteria) as well as antifungal (against I. orientalis) activity. Theobserved high activity against yeast has been explained by considering the inhibitory effect of theCa2+ lixiviated from the glass on the growth of the yeast colonies.
