PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a water-soluble antibacterial composition having antibacterial and antifugal activity in a wide range and excellent chlorine resistance and suppressing discoloring and coloring caused by UV light or the like.SOLUTION: An antibacterial composition is prepared by compounding creatinine and at least one compound of silver oxide, silver salt and silver complex. A molar ratio (x=B/A) of the creatinine (B) to silver (A) in the compound is 2 or more and an aqueous solution of the antibacterial composition prepared to have 1.0 wt.% of the total of creatinine and silver shows a pH (y) satisfying a conditional expression.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】広範な抗細菌及び真菌活性を有し、耐塩素性に優れ、紫外線等による変色、着色を抑制した水溶性の抗菌性組成物を提供する。【解決手段】酸化銀、銀塩、又は銀錯体のいずれか1種以上の化合物とクレアチニンとを配合してなる抗菌性組成物であって、前記化合物中の銀(A)とクレアチニン(B)とのモル比(x=B/A)が2以上であり、該抗菌性組成物のクレアチニンと銀の合計を1.0重量%に調整した水溶液のpH(y)が、下記の条件式:にあることを特徴とする。【選択図】なし
