The source presents silver nanoparticle action as distinct from antibiotics that bacteria metabolize. The proposed antimicrobial mechanism centers on electron transfer from microbes to electron-deficient silver oxide. The source says electron loss can disrupt microbial structures and inhibit growth. Some bacteria are described as internalizing silver nanoparticles, which can then bind proteins and interfere with DNA replication.
