Increasing use of silver in the treatment of water has necessitated an examination of microbiological methods for the measurement of silver inactivation of microorganisms. Three common agar media were tested for their ability to neutralize the bacteriostatic effects of silver. Results suggested that growth media differed in their neutralizing capacity; that is, the non-inhibitory media tryptone glucose agar and Trypticase soy agar showed more neutralizing capacity than eosin methylene blue agar. Furthermore, the neutralizing effect appeared to be a function of the soluble component of the media and not of the agar itself.
在水的处理中越来越多地使用银，这就需要对测量银对微生物灭活作用的微生物学方法进行研究。测试了三种常见的琼脂培养基中和银抑菌作用的能力。结果表明，生长培养基的中和能力存在差异；也就是说，非抑制性培养基胰蛋白胨葡萄糖琼脂和胰蛋白胨大豆琼脂比伊红美蓝琼脂表现出更强的中和能力。此外，中和作用似乎是培养基可溶性成分的功能，而不是琼脂本身的功能。
