PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the subject body exhibiting excellent antimicrobial properties and to obtain it with an inexpensive process without need of the process for supporting metal ions. SOLUTION: The antimicrobial porous formed body is obtained by mixing 100 wt.% sepiolite, which is one of inorganic layered clay minerals, and 2 wt.% silver acetate as an antimicrobial metal compound, then, after adding water, kneading the mixture to make it pasty, extruding the paste using a nozzle having the diameter of 4 mm to obtain a formed body having L/D value of 1, after drying the formed body, subjecting the dried formed body to firing treatment by raising temp. at a temp. rising rate of 10 deg.C/min up to 850 deg.C and subjecting to invigoration treatment by blowing steam into for 2 h from the time when the temp. has reached 850 deg.C.
