TiO2 particles were deposited onto the surface of polyester (PES) material. The microbiological research were carried out on two bacteria strains: Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae, which showed antibacterial properties of the PES surfaces modified with the titanium dioxide under the influence of UV radiation.
