This book sets out the very ancient history of oligodynamics which predates the Christian era. With the ever-onward march of antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as MRSA, this text could not have been published at a more relevant time. The scientific background and bacteriological data are reviewed, then the book surveys the materials used to create such surfaces. Graphs and tables show the kinetics of bactericidal action and viricidal and fungicidal applications are also noted.
