Synthesis, structural characterisation and antibacterial activity of Ag+-doped fluorapatite nanomaterials prepared by neutralization method

- The neutralization method has been used for synthesis of silver-doped fluorapatite powders.
- Particles of silver-doped fluorapatite samples are of nano size and homogenous in composition.
- The Ag+-doped fluorapatite samples showed antibacterial effect against Kllebsiela pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Micrococcus luteus.
- AFM studies showed that silver-doped sample causes considerable morphological changes of tested bacterial cells.
