Effect of Surface Silver Ions towards Inhibiting Bacterial Growth on Apatite

Article Preview

Abstract:

This work revealed the ability of silver,silicon co-substituted apatite (Ag,Si-HA) to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), with a 7-log reduction of adherent bacteria on Ag,Si-HA as compared to HA. Furthermore, it demonstrated that surface-bound Ag+ ions was responsible for the antibacterial action since there was not much Ag+ ions being released.
