Novel Study Antimicrobial and Biocompatibility Effect of Magnesium Silver Alloys 1% on Bovine Bacterial Species.

MgAg 1% alloys inhibit bacterial growth during the dry-off period. MgAg1% silver and magnesium amount was determined and the supernatant was used for the detection of antibacterial tests against and and var. . The antibacterial effect of AgNO solution and degradation medium of MgAg1% sticks were evaluated. The bouillon dilution test showed a 5-fold reduction in bacterial colonies. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) calculations were used to test the antibacterial activity. The Brilliant Black Reduction Test (BRT-MRL screening test) showed inhibition of bacteria at AgNO concentrations 0.01 mmol/l and 3 ml of degradation medium. Results were satisfying, concerning biocompatibility, degradation, and antibacterial effects.
