Abstract
The present invention relates generally to silver-based antimicrobial compositions and processes for making such compositions. More particularly, the present invention describes stable, purified silver-based antimicrobial compositions, and processes for making such compositions, comprising carrier-free silver thiosulfate ion complexes either suspended in a base or incorporated into a matrix. These silver thiosulfate ion complex antimicrobial compositions are useful in the treatment and prevention of infections and diseases.
