Summary

Antimicrobial Metals in Creams explores the use of metals like silver, zinc, and copper as alternatives to traditional antibiotics in topical applications. The book examines the oligodynamic effect, where even tiny amounts of these antimicrobial metals can effectively combat bacteria. It highlights how metal-based remedies have been used throughout history, from ancient water purification methods to modern burn treatments.

 
The book meticulously progresses from basic microbiology to the specifics of each metal's antimicrobial mechanisms, such as disrupting cell membranes. It explains how these metals are incorporated into creams, considering factors like particle size and interaction with other ingredients. It also addresses formulation science and the development of metal-containing creams for wound healing and skin infections.

 
A crucial aspect of the book is its exploration of how nanoparticle technology enhances metal delivery and the strategies to mitigate potential toxicity. The book distinguishes itself by providing a comprehensive, evidence-based perspective on antimicrobial metals, moving beyond anecdotal claims to offer rational insights into their use in combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
