Antimicrobial Testing on Copper versus Copper Alloys

Copper and copper alloys are known as metals with antimicrobial properties. Esco conducted the antimicrobial test on pure copper and some copper alloys in a microbiology laboratory. Six microorganisms were tested against one type of pure copper and seven types of copper alloy. In this study, we found that pure copper is more effective than copper alloy in rendering microorganisms inactive.
