title: Silver ion-mediated killing of a food pathogen: Melting curve analysis data of silver resistance genes and growth curve data.
abstract: Limited antibacterial activity of silver ions leached from silver-impregnated food contact materials could be due to: 1) the presence of silver resistance genesin tested bacteria; or 2) lack of susceptibility to silver ion-mediated killing in thebacterialstrain (K. Williams, L. Valencia, K. Gokulan, R. Trbojevich, S. Khare, 2016 [1]). This study contains data to address the specificity of silver resistance genes inSalmonellaTyphimurium during the real time PCR using melting curve analysis and an assessment of the minimum inhibitory concentration of silver ions forSalmonella.
