In this research work, the antibacterial activity of inoculated cotton fabric in various metallic salts was investigated. Copper chloride, nickel nitrate, silver nitrate, cobalt oxide, antimony oxide, titanium oxide and tin chloride were used as metallic salts. Very good antibacterial activity for silver-, copper-, nickel- and cobalt-treated fabrics were achieved, however, the effect of titanium and tin on antibacterial efficiency of cotton fabrics was moderate. The scanning electron microscope was used for morphological study. Also, the crystallinity and size of crystals for inoculated and untreated samples were studied by using X-ray diffraction method. The results are truly discussed in full paper.
