Thin films of hydroxyapatite (HA) and silver- doped HA were synthesized using KrF excimer laser deposition. Material was ablated from one target composed from silver and HA segments. Layers properties as silver content, structure, color, FTIR spectra and antibacterial properties (Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis) were measured. Silver concentration in HA layers of 0.06, 0.3, 1.2, 4.4, 8.3, and 13.7 at % was detected. The antibacterial efficacy changed with silver dopation from 71.0 to 99.9%. The focus is on investigation of min- imum Ag concentration needed to reach a high antibacterial efficacy.
