People can be exposed to many microorganisms in daily life and these microorganisms can reproduce rapidly under the influence of appropriate temperature, humidity and nutrients. These microorganisms can cause infectious diseases and deaths. Bacteria formed on textile materials negatively affect human health, and cause loss of strength, bad odor and stain formation on textile surfaces. Nowadays, in order to prevent the harm given to the user and these negative situations occurring on the textile surface, the tendency towards antibacterial textile products, which are of great importance especially for the health sector, has increased.
