The Study of Antibacterial Effect of the A2O-B2O3 - CaO - P2O5 System
Abstract
The present paper studied the antibacterial effect of the 1.5Ag2O 98.5% [47 B2O3 (53-x)CaO xP2O5] system for 0 ≤ x ≤ 10, by the diffusion method in agar. The oxidic system has an inhibitive effect upon both studied strains of Pseudomonas and Staphylococcus aureus, bacterial growth being inhibited to a maximal diameter of 20 mm. Staphylococcus aureus was less sensitive to the action of the compounds, the highest inhibition diameter being of 15 mm.
