The problem of nosocomial infections is nothing new. In places, where people, whose immune system is weakened, are gathered and subjected to various kinds of treatments, the risk of infection increases considerably. The use of textiles with biocidal finishing, which contains nanoAg and nanoCu, may give an additional protection against nosocominal infections. This article presents the latest information regarding various methods for synthesis, impregnation and immobilization of antibacterial coatings. It also describes the textile biocidal activity depending on the active agents applied and the type of textile used. The textile biocidal properties obtained by the described methods were systematically lost. Therefore, at the end of the article a method, which enables their constant renewing is presented.
