[Evaluation of the bacteriological safety of wares made from different metals]

The determination of the integral toxicity of a liquid after its contact with different metallic wares could provide a comparative assessment of the hazards of this ware to living organisms. The distilled water and physiological solution exposed to silverware even for a short period of time (15 min) proved to be deleterious to the specially selected bacterial strains differing in their resistance to different chemical substances while aluminum ware was quite harmless to them after their long (4-day) standing of liquids.
