Exchangeable ions are responsible for the in vitro antibacterial properties of natural clay mixtures.

We have identified a natural clay mixture that exhibits in vitro antibacterial activity against a broad spectrum of bacterial pathogens. We collected four samples from the same source and demonstrated through antibacterial susceptibility testing that these clay mixtures have markedly different antib...
