abstract = "Hydroxyapatite Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 - HAp presents natural construction material for bones and teeth and therefore is considered biocompatible, and has various applications in fields such as biomedicine, drug delivery, and as a biomarker. Considering nanoceramics' high specific surface area and antimicrobial activity, they can be used as potential antimicrobial materials. Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a biopolymer that stands out in its biodegradability, biocompatibility, and high water retention capacity, but also lacks functional properties. The main goal of this study is to create a newly designed composite material with the functionalization of cellulose by hydroxyapatite with antimicrobial properties. Hydroxyapatite material was incorporated in wet cellulose during the precipitation synthesis reaction. Obtained BC-HAp material was structurally and phase investigated by the XRD method. The morphology of obtained material was done by SEM, and appropriate functional groups were determined by the FTIR method. According to antimicrobial results investigated composite is shown proper antimicrobial activity.",
