That raises questions about
how other metals known to be
bioactive may be affecting our
microbiomes, said Bruce Fowler,
of the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention National Center
for Environmental Health. For
example, some packaged salads are
sold in plastic bags into which silver
nanomaterials are incorporated as
a preservative. Bacteria have hadsilver-resistance genes for a long
time, commented Anne Summers,
of the University of Georgia. They
cause problems in burn units,
where silver and antibiotics are
used as treatments, she said;. Some
of the metal-containing compounds
are effective when they are used
on a small scale in hospitals, but
when manufacturers want to put
them in every sheet and all the
laboratory coats, and so forth,
“that is inviting disaster,” Summers
emphasized.
