Disclosed is a method for producing a substrate having antimicrobial properties. The method comprises the steps of depositing a metal ungelled layer containing an inorganic antimicrobial agent starting from a precursor in the form of metal, colloid, chelate or ionic onto at least one surface of the glass substrate; And diffusing the antimicrobial agent into one or more surfaces of the substrate by heat treatment. Alternatively, the substrate may be coated with a bottom layer or a top coat, with diffusion occurring within the bottom layer or top coat. Also disclosed are antimicrobial glass and metal substrates. In particular, the bactericidal activity of the substrate is higher than log 2 when measured according to the standard test method JIS Z 2801.n n n n Antimicrobial Substrates, Inorganic Antimicrobials, Tempering, Annealing, Glass Substrates |
