摘要：
The survival of three bacterial species and Candida albicans was studied on SPI-ARGENT II. The immediate recovery from silver-impregnated polymer and control polymer (1 cm(2)) was similar to 10(6) to 10(7) microorganisms. After incubation (37 degrees C) and neutralization of silver with horse serum (5%), surviving organisms were recovered. The survival of the microorganisms on the polymer was not found to be influenced by the silver implantation.
