If silver is potent enough, that may not be an issue. While it is hypothetically possible for biotics to develop resistance to sterilization via sulfuric acid, to my knowledge none have. If your treatment operates with fundamental chemistry (rather than complicated interactions between large organic molecules) and is powerful enough, the biotics don't get a chance to develop resistance. Or at least, that's how I understand it.
For example, I would consider osmosis to be a "fundamental chemistry" form of action. The only organisms I know of that can tolerate ridiculously high osmotic pressures are extremophiles. They developed resistance, yes, but they had the opportunity to gradually develop on the fringes of these extreme environments, instead of simply being dropped into a pool of salt.
