Staphylococcus aureus, spidertattooz.com which is commonly found in hospitals, has become a major problem in infection control.In this study, Ag/80S bioactive ceramics used for enhanced antibacterial applications have been developed.An in vitro bioactivity test of the Ag/80S bioactive ceramic powders was performed in a phosphate-buffered saline (PBS).To explore the antibacterial activity of the Ag/80S bioactive ceramic powders, the Kirby-Bauer susceptibility test, the kinetics of microbial growth analysis and the colony-forming capacity assay were used to determine their minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

The results confirmed that the Ag/80S bioactive ceramic turbo air m3f72-3-n powders have antibacterial activity against MRSA (ATCC 33592) and MRSA (ATCC 49476).
