Bacteria?????

how does metal stop the growthof bacteria???

Bacteria?????
Not all metals stop bacterian growth....there are metals that bacteria thrieves on, like iron....like the bacteria eating up the wreck of Titanic...Some metals like silver are known to inhibit bacterian growth....hope someone can tell you more about how this is done...
Reply:Metals act as disinfectants to denature proteins. (That's why they put AgNO3 on newborns' eyes, to prevent the growth of N. gonorrhea, etc)
