“…It can be used as an implant material both in its bulk mainly porous form, for filling in or reconstructing bone defects and as coating on metals [3,4]. In addition, antibacterial activity of bone material is essential in order to prevent the risk of infections during implantation [5,6]. To meet this requirement, various antibiotics and metal-containing inorganic materials have been developed in combination of hydroxyapatite as antibacterial agents in order to prevent the bacterial [7,8].…”

Antibacterial materials based on calcium phosphates have wide range of biomedical applications in the prevention of microbial infections. The synthesis of inorganic mineral component of bone i.e. hydroxyapatite was done with the addition of silver (Ag) (5-15 wt %) as antibacterial agent. The wet precipitation synthesis was carried out using diammonium hydrogen phosphate and calcium nitrate as P and Ca precursors. The presence and effect of silver addition on the structure was studied using Fourier Transform-Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) techniques. The antibacterial properties of all samples were evaluated using Disc Diffusion Technique (DDT) againstS. aureus,B. subtilis, P. aeruginosaandE. coli. Antibacterial activities of samples were found to vary depending on the bacterial species and Ag loading percentage. The antibacterial assay suggested that the addition of Ag ions within hydroxyapatite can be effectively provided the required level of antibacterial activity against bacteria.
