Silver doped calcium phosphate biomaterials, such as silver doped hydroxyapatite (Hap/Ag) offer a great potential in the biomedical applications, due to their osteoconductivity, bioactivity and antibacterial properties. Silver ions shows antibacterial properties against 12 species of bacteria and hydroxyapatite is widely used for reconstruction and regeneration of bone tissue [1,2]. The aim of this work was to synthesize Hap/Ag composites containing up to 3% of silver, using slightly modified wet precipitation method. The intensity of Staphylococcus epidermidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa adhesion and colonization on prepared Hap/Ag composite surfaces was investigated.
