Abstract EN
The synthesis of nanosized particles of Ag-doped hydroxyapatite with antibacterial properties is of great interest for the development of new biomedical applications.
The aim of this study was the evaluation of Ca10−xAgx(PO4)6(OH)2 nanoparticles (Ag:HAp-NPs) for their antibacterial and antifungal activity.
Resistance to antimicrobial agents by pathogenic bacteria has emerged in the recent years and became a major health problem.
Here, we report a method for synthesizing Ag doped nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite.
A silver-doped nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite was synthesized at 100°C in deionised water.
Also, in this paper Ag:HAp-NPs are evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fungal strains.
The specific antimicrobial activity revealed by the qualitative assay is demonstrating that our compounds are interacting differently with the microbial targets, probably due to the differences in the microbial wall structures.
