Since the bacterial agent suitable for use in biological applications. aluminum tetrahedron carries one negative charge, this Antibacterial activity of silver-loaded zeolite A against must be compensated for by the M? cation, which is not Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Staphylococcus bound by a covalent bond and can therefore be very easily aureus was determined by minimum inhibitory concen- replaced by other elements [7]. tration, revealing its potential as a strong bactericide. Silver and silver ions have long been known to have powerful antibacterial capability and low toxicity [8]. Investigation of the inhibition mechanism of Ag? on microorganism indicated that it affects DNA molecules, Introduction disabling their replication abilities, and interacts with thiol
