Article Synopsis
- There is a known link between poor water quality and health care-associated infections, prompting the need to investigate copper's effectiveness against bacteria in water.
- Copper was tested alongside other materials to assess its ability to kill common hospital pathogens in aqueous environments.
- Results indicated that bacteria in copper containers significantly decreased from over 100,000 CFU/mL to zero within 2 hours, suggesting copper's potential to improve water quality in hospitals.
