The aim of this study was to investigate antimicrobial activity of textiles doped with silver in different forms. Three types of textiles were prepared and examined: textiles doped with commercially available Ag nanoparticles, textiles doped with commercial colloidal silver and textiles doped with silver silica SiO2/Ag spheres. The specimens of silica submicron spheres were synthesized by the sol-gel method as a matrix for biological active silver. The results of microbiological tests revealed that among three kinds of Ag doped textiles only these doped with SiO2/Ag spheres are bacteriostatically active. During the experiments minimal inhibiting bacteria growth concentration of active SiO2/Ag spheres added to textiles was determined.
