TLDR
In 1965, Moyer revived interest in silver nitrate solution and introduced Mafenide acetate, followed a few years later by silver sulphadiazine and cerium nitrate, which represented a radical change in the topical treatment of burns.About:

Silver nanoparticles as a new generation of antimicrobials.
TL;DR: Silver nanoparticles have emerged up with diverse medical applications ranging from silver based dressings, silver coated medicinal devices, such as nanogels, nanolotions, etc, due to its capability of modulating metals into their nanosize.

Silver as Antibacterial Agent: Ion, Nanoparticle, and Metal
TL;DR: It can be concluded that the therapeutic window for silver is narrower than often assumed, however, the risks for humans and the environment are probably limited.

Bacterial silver resistance: molecular biology and uses and misuses of silver compounds
TL;DR: Resistance to silver compounds as determined by bacterial plasmids and genes has been defined by molecular genetics and the use of molecular epidemiological tools will establish the range and diversity of such resistance systems in clinical and non-clinical sources.

Silver sulfadiazine--a new topical therapy for Pseudomonas in burns. Therapy of Pseudomonas infection in burns.
TL;DR: There is now a renaissance of topical antibacterial therapy with the introduction of dilute silver nitrate solutions and mafenide-containing ointments, which are effective in burn wound sepsis, especially that caused byP aeruginosa, but both also produce characteristic fluid and electrolyte alterations.

Treatment of large human burns with 0.5 per cent silver nitrate solution.
TL;DR: Although burns covering more than 65% of the body are still regularly but not always fatal, the fact that the relationship of mortality to the size of burn is ogival is reason to believe that ultimately even burns covering 90% to 100% ofThe body will not always be lethal.

Mechanism of silver sulfadiazine action on burn wound infections.
Charles L. Fox,Shanta M. Modak +1 more
TL;DR: The efficacy of silver sulfadiazine is thought to result from its slow and steady reactions with serum and other sodium chloride-containing body fluids, which permits the slow and sustained delivery of silver ions into the wound environs.
