The invention relates to the field of medicine, and in particular to devices for sterilizing objects with radiation, and is intended for disinfection with the diffuse ultraviolet irradiation of the door handles of public organizations, including hospitals, clinics, public catering establishments. The algorithm of work is such that allows ultraviolet radiation for disinfection in a short period of time after passage of a person. Antibacterial door handle comprises a light guide (2); UV LEDs (1) installed at the end surface of the light guide (2), an optical reflector (4), a circuit incorporating LEDs comprising a door sensor, a power source, a delay circuit and a pulse generation power LEDs. The light emitting surface of the light guide (2) is provided with points of optical inhomogeneity which are centres of dispersion of UV radiation, with the help of which diffuse irradiation of the tube surfaces is formed, and switching circuit provides the inclusion of UV LEDs (1) for a certain period of time with a delay enable the inclusion of a door opening sensor, excluding or minimizing the irradiation time of a person' s hand opening the door.
