Scientific research demonstrates copper’s antimicrobial effect on a range of organisms including MRSA, Clostridium difficile, E.coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Influenza A and Aspergillus niger. This indicates a role for copper in applications where control of these germs would be beneficial. The attached slide shows results of a global extrapolation of where copper might be used, in hospitals.
